AUTOCARE: AUTOMOBILE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

-

Imagine you driving or board a cab/bus and you enter into a bump or a pothole, and just didn't feel it, (like nothing happen) that is the work of a good suspension system, and just think otherwise, awwwww your guess is as good as mine. We will take a brief look into the suspension system in today's post

Suspension system: Suspension refers to the use of front and rear springs to
suspend a vehicle’s frame, body, engine & power train above
the wheels.

Functions of suspension system
The main functions of a suspension system are as follows:
1. To safeguard the occupants against road shocks and provide riding comfort.
2. To minimise the effects of stresses due to road
shocks on the mechanism of the motor vehicle and provide a cushioning effect.
3. To keep the body perfectly in level while travelling over rough uneven ground, i.e., the up and down movement of the wheels should be relative to the body.
4. To isolate the structure of the vehicle from shock loading and vibration due to irregularities of the road surface without impairing its stability.
5. To provide the requisite height to the body structure as well as to bear the torque and
braking reactions.

The components of a suspension system can be categorised as follows

Mechanical Suspension
(i) Leaf springs
(ii) Coil springs
(iii) Rubber springs
(iv) Torsion bars

Hydraulic Suspension
(i) Hydraulic shock absorber
(ii) Telescopic fork absorber

Air Suspension
Compressed air is used in an air suspension system.

AUTOCARE: TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

-
Image
Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmission system consist of Clutch assembly Gear box assembly (Transmission case assembly) Propeller shaft Clutch system The clutch assembly interrupts the power flow between the engine and the transmission when the vehicle is brought to a stop with the engine running. and when shifting gears. It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult. The clutch is located between the engine flywheel and the transmission Functions of Clutch (a) To disconnect the engine power from the gear box as required. (b) To allow the engine to take up load gradually without...

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
