Design and analysis of Inclination Angle on Davis steering gear mechanism
Abstract
The most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a hand operated steering wheel which is positioned in front of the driver, via the steering column, which may contain universal joints which may also be part of the collapsible steering column design, to allow it to deviate somewhat from a straight line. Other arrangements are sometimes found on different types of vehicles, for example, a tiller or rear–wheel steering. Tracked vehicles such as tanks usually employ differential steering that is, the tracks are made to move at differ speeds or even in opposite directions to bring about a change of course or direction. The slide blocks are pivoted on these pins and move with the turning of bell crank levers as the steering wheel is when the vehicle is running straight, the gear said to in its mid-position. The short arms are inclined an angle 90+α to their stub axles. The correct steering depends upon a suitable selection of cross-arm angle α.
