What Type of Mechanism Does the Automotive Steering System Belong To?
1 Answers
Automotive steering mechanisms belong to the front-wheel steering mechanism. Since Ackermann invented the trapezoidal linkage steering mechanism in the late 19th century, wheel steering has become universally adopted in automobiles. For simplicity in structure, most vehicles utilize front-wheel steering. Power steering assists the driver in adjusting the vehicle's direction, reducing the effort required to turn the steering wheel. Relevant information about the steering system is as follows: 1. A series of devices used to change or maintain the direction of a vehicle's movement or reverse is called the automotive steering system (steering-system). 2. Automotive steering systems are divided into two major categories: mechanical steering systems and power steering systems.
