2. Ball joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

   A typical ball joint with cutaway view (right) An inner tie rod end cut open to expose the ball joint. In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod ...

3. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

   In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They are used on virtually every automobile made [4] and work similarly to the ball-and-socket design of the human hip joint. [5] A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are made of steel ...

4. Recirculating ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_ball

   Recirculating ball, also known as recirculating ball and nut or worm and sector, is a steering mechanism commonly found in older automobiles, off-road vehicles, and some trucks. Most newer cars use the more economical rack and pinion steering instead, but some upmarket manufacturers (such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz ) held on to the design until ...

5. Automotive suspension design process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_suspension...

   Choosing the location of the 'hard points', or theoretical centres of each ball joint or bushing; Selecting the rates of the bushings; Analysing the loads in the suspension; Designing the spring rates; Designing shock absorber characteristics; Designing the structure of each component so that it is strong, stiff, light, and cheap

6. Multi-link suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_suspension

   Typically each arm has a spherical joint (ball joint) or rubber bushing at each end. Consequently, they react to loads along their own length, in tension and compression, but not in bending. Some multi-links do use a trailing arm, control arm or wishbone, which has two bushings at one end.

7. Ball screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_screw

   Left inset: recirculating tube removed showing retainer bracket, loose balls and tube. Right inset: closer view of the nut cavity. A ball screw (or ballscrew) is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a ...
