Apply Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering

 

To drive the vehicle speed, steering wheel holds a major role. The steering system is moving the front wheels from side to side,according to the movement of the steering wheel is turned by the driver. But in certain circumstances, this condition was deemed inadequate. Turning radius is too wide will make the maneuver is limited. And out of the corner will certainly complicate any fracture.Especially if you have to park the vehicle in tight spaces.

No wonder the manufacturer's 1987 Honda Prelude type issued sedan is equipped with four wheel steering, four wheel steering, aka, the wheels turning behind her part. Then General Motors Delphi also apply to the Sierra Denali's Quadrasteer homemade.Several other auto makers also equip their products with four-wheel steering.

For vehicles with large size such as trucks, double cabin, pickup and so forth, the addition of four-wheel steering allows the driver clearly. Of course, in such a system sensitivity of the steering wheel front rear no more responsive. Similarly, the point of inflection, not as wide as the front.

Create enthusiasts of off-road competition, the use of four-wheel steering will obviously beneficial. Additional steering the rear wheels would make it more agile maneuvers. "If in rock crawling, the benefits are visible on the broken corner. Can greatly help deflect the jeep.

Usually the use of four-wheel steering is passive. This means that the new rear-wheel controller to function when activated. Way activation by pressing a switch on-off. While the driving force behind the steering wheel itself could use hydraulic or electrically. Well, in this paper will discuss the 4 wheel steer electrical mechanical wear.

four-wheel-steering electric motor winch artificial blends with heavy equipment components. Requirement to make a four-wheel steering, of course, need a pair of front axle. "Regular rear axle is solid, having no Knuckle steering wheel that can bend. So the front axle must be replaced.

Usually the replacement axle is not as simple as one might imagine. Because had to adjust as the coupling is connected with transfer case. This constraint is often experienced when going to modify the off-road jeep. "The position of axle hump often can notget along with transfer case. If you use another axle, the final gear is also often not the same, "continued the man who was preparing a tubular single - seater buggy with 4 wheel steering is electric.

Mechanical workings of electric 4 wheel steering is quite simple.Winch motor will move the gear shift concoction of heavy equipment components that are connected with long rods tie rod. In order to keep the motor winch does not rotate when the rotation of the wheel is fixed, then installed additional on-off switch.
 

When the wheels have touched the steering damper, then the winch will automatically switch the motor directly to the off position. So that the winch motor can not continue to spin, which can make shorting and burning. "One more thing to keep in mind, it should create a safety lock mechanism when the 4 wheel steering in the off position," warned Ian. This is in anticipation of moving the rear wheels if the regulator is damaged. Live rear axle lock switch, so I can not move from side to side themselves.

How about it, interested to try?
