Moment about Steeraxis due to Driveline Torque
Moment about Steeraxis due to Driveline Torque is the rotational force that causes the steer axis to turn due to the driveline torque's twisting action.
Symbol: Msa
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Tractive Force
Tractive Force is the force that propels a vehicle forward, generated by the interaction between the wheels and the road surface, affecting steering system and axles.
Symbol: Fx
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Distance between Steeraxis and Tire center
Distance between Steeraxis and Tire center is the length between the steering axis and the center of the tire, affecting the steering system's performance.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Caster Angle
Caster Angle is the angle between the vertical line and the pivot line of the steering axis, affecting the stability and directional control of a vehicle.
Symbol: ν
