Most light- and medium-duty pickup trucks, SUVs, and vans also use a beam axle, at least in the rear. A beam axle is easier and less expensive to modify than other axles. This is because it has fewer parts, less mechanical complexity, and more empty space between suspension components, axles, and the vehicle's frame or body.
Shear legs, also known as sheers, shears, or sheer legs, are a form of two-legged lifting device. Shear legs may be permanent, formed of a solid A-frame and supports, as commonly seen on land and the floating sheerleg , or temporary, as aboard a vessel lacking a fixed crane or derrick.
The F406 Caravan II is a twin turboprop engined, fourteen-seat low-wing monoplane of conventional aluminium (airframe) and steel (engine internal parts, exhaust, landing gear) construction. It is a development of the Cessna 404 Titan with two Pratt & Whitney PT6A turboprop engines.
A gun stabilizer must be used to compensate for the rocking motion. Due to the massive weight of a main battle tank, compared to an automobile, there is a much greater risk of breaking a torsion bar on sudden bumps or maneuvers, and if it is not replaced in short order the reduced suspension can affect the maneuverability of the vehicle, and in ...
An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobile suspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors.
Grumman F-14 Tomcat jet fighter during a takeoff, with stabilators deflected upwards. A stabilator is a fully movable aircraft horizontal stabilizer.It serves the usual functions of longitudinal stability, control and stick force requirements [1] otherwise performed by the separate parts of a conventional horizontal stabilizer (which is fixed) and elevator (which is adjustable).
The electric powered active stabilizer suspension was first used on the 2007 Lexus GS. The 2008 Lexus LS 600h was the second vehicle to feature the active stabilizer system. Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System (APSSS) , is an electric active suspension system with active anti-roll bars developed by Toyota Motor Corporation for its high ...
the foot has to touch the ground for at least half of the cycle for a two/four leg mechanism [1] or respectively, a third of the cycle for a three/six leg mechanism; minimized moving mass; vertical center of mass always inside the base of support [1] the speed of each leg or group of legs should be separately controllable for steering [6]
