Ackermann Steering Demonstrator- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Ackermann Steering Demonstrator- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The objective of this
kinematic model is to explain the special features of the Ackermann
steering mechanism. The lead angle of a steering trapezoid is determined
as are the disadvantages of incorrectly adjusted track rods. The units
consists of two levers, an intermediate steering rod, two track rods and
two track rod arms. The indicators attached to these rotate with the
arms and indicate the steering angle on scales. It is possible to adjust
the pointers independent of the levers. By turning an adjustment nut it
is possible to change the length of the track rods. The complete
arrangement is mounted on a base plate. The unit can supplied either for
wall mounting or as a benchtop model.
