Necessity of Ignition Timing Control
In a gasoline engine, the air-fuel mixture is ignited to cause combustion, and the force that is generated by the explosion causes the piston to push downward. The thermal energy can be most efficiently Read more Necessity of Ignition Timing Control
Automotive Ignition System
The three essential elements of a gasoline engine aregood air-fuel mixture, good compression, and good spark. The ignition system generates a powerful spark through proper ignition timing in order to ignite Read more Automotive Ignition System
Engine Temperature-controlled Fluid Coupling
1. Overview
The V-belt driven cooling fan increases in fan speed in proportion to the increase in engine speed. For this reason, the fan speed of the cooling fan with the temperature control fluid coupling Read more Engine Temperature-controlled Fluid Coupling
EngineElectric Motor-driven Cooling Fan
1. Outline
It is necessary for a large volume of air to pass through the radiator for it to release the heat. Ordinary driving provides an adequate air flow for cooling, however when the vehicle is Read more EngineElectric Motor-driven Cooling Fan
What is Telescopic Mechanism?
1. Description
The telescopic steering mechanism allows forward or backward adjustment of the steering wheel position to suit the driver’s posture.
2. Construction
The telescopic mechanism consists Read more What is Telescopic Mechanism?
Caster and Caster Trail
Caster is the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis. Caster is measured in degrees from the steering axis to vertical as viewed from the side. Backward tilt from the vertical line is called “positive Read more Caster and Caster Trail
Steering Axis Inclination
The axis around which the wheel rotates as it turns to the right or left is called the “steering axis”. This axis is found by drawing an imaginary line between the top of the shock absorber’s upper Read more Steering Axis Inclination
Toe (Toe Angle, Toe-in and Toe-out)
Toe is the inclination of the wheel front and rear as seen from above the vehicle. The wheel installation angle is called the toe angle. When the front of the wheels are closer than the rear of the wheels, Read more Toe (Toe Angle, Toe-in and Toe-out)
Wheel Alignment Service
Frequent inspection and correction of wheel alignment are ordinarily not necessary under normal conditions of use. However, if the tires are worn unevenly, if steering is unstable, or if the suspension Read more Wheel Alignment Service
