  2. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

    Not to be confused with Torsion beam suspension. Schematic of a front axle highlighted to show torsion bar. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension, is any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight-bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite ...

  3. Torsion spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_spring

    A helical torsion spring, is a metal rod or wire in the shape of a helix (coil) that is subjected to twisting about the axis of the coil by sideways forces (bending moments) applied to its ends, twisting the coil tighter. Clocks use a spiral wound torsion spring (a form of helical torsion spring where the coils are around each other instead of ...

  4. Radius rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_rod

    Radius rod. A radius rod (also called a radius arm, torque arm, torque spring, and torsion bar) is a suspension link intended to control wheel motion in the longitudinal (fore-aft) direction. The link is connected (with a rubber or solid bushing) on one end to the wheel carrier or axle, on the other to the chassis or unibody of the vehicle.

  5. Control arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_arm

    Control arm. In automotive suspension, a control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel. In simple terms, it governs a wheel's vertical travel, allowing it to move up or down when driving over bumps, into potholes, or otherwise reacting to the ...

  6. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

    The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is widely used in the front suspension of modern vehicles. The name comes from American automotive engineer Earle S. MacPherson, who invented and developed the design.

  7. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

    Anti-roll bar. An anti-roll bar (in black) on the rear of a Porsche, which traverses the underside of the car. Flexible bushings attach it to the chassis. Also visible on the right is one of the links that connect the bar to the suspension (drop link). These twist the anti-roll bar when the vehicle is cornering, resisting body roll.

  8. Cavendish experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment

    Cavendish's result provided additional evidence for a planetary core made of metal, an idea first proposed by Charles Hutton based on his analysis of the 1774 Schiehallion experiment. [18] Cavendish's result of 5.4 g·cm −3, 23% bigger than Hutton's, is close to 80% of the density of liquid iron, and 80% higher than the density of the Earth's ...

  9. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

    Description. Watt's linkage consists of three bars bolted together in a chain. The chain of bars consists of two end bars and a middle bar. The middle bar is bolted at each of its ends to one of the ends of each outer bar. The two outer bars are of equal length, and are longer than the middle bar. The three bars can pivot around the two bolts.
