  2. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.

  3. Georg Lankensperger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Lankensperger

    .. the inventor of the Ackermann steering. Georg Lankensperger (also: Lankensberger), (31 March 1779 – 11 July 1847) was a German wheelwright who invented the steering mechanism that is today known as Ackermann steering geometry. He patented the invention in Germany, but his agent Rudolph Ackermann filed for the patent in the U.K.

  4. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

    The steering kingpin is held in place by the forked ends of a beam axle on a Ford Model T. The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.

  5. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

    The Understeer Angle is the amount of additional steering (at the road wheels, not the hand wheel) that must be added in any given steady-state maneuver beyond the Ackermann steer angle. The Ackermann Steer Angle is the steer angle at which the vehicle would travel about a curve when there is no lateral acceleration required (at negligibly low ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ackermann_steering...

    As the article states, "pure" Ackermann isn't used in real cars, but a slight modification of it which accounts for other effects, such as tyrewall compliance, etc. There are also many other interacting factors in car suspension/steering design which make it a very complex subject.

  7. Idler arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idler_arm

    Ackermann steering linkage Idler arm for a heavy-duty truck. An idler arm is a pivoting support for a conventional parallelogram steering linkage on some cars and trucks. [1] The idler arm supports the end of the center link on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The idler arm bolts to the vehicle's frame or subframe.

  8. Airfix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfix

    Airfix produced cars with front-wheel Ackermann steering and, later, conversion kits so that normal Airfix 1 ⁄ 32 kit cars such as the Ford Zodiac and the Sunbeam Rapier could be raced. The first set had Ferrari and Cooper cars and an 11-foot figure-of-eight track: it cost £4/19/11d.

  9. Pandur II (8×8) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandur_II_(8×8)

    The front pair of wheels' steering trapezes are mechanically connected and use the Ackermann steering principle; the normals' point of intersection lies in between the rear axles. The steering system itself is a hydraulically assisted dual-circuit power steering system that is located within the Pandur II's protective body. [3]
