Analysis on Ackermann Error of Steering System using Variable Length Tie-Rod mechanism
Main Article Content
Abstract
The steering system in conjunction with the suspension system, provides control and stability of an automobile. Most of the vehicles are installed with the steering system that works on Ackermann steering geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry ensures true rolling motion and is widely used because of its simplicity and compactness. Although this mechanism ensures true rolling motion there is still some error in the mechanism. This paper is an approach to optimize the Ackermann mechanism by using a continuously variable tie rod in the place of a rigid tie rod.
