  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. Parallelogram steering linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_steering_linkage

    A parallelogram steering linkage is called such because like its namesake, the two sides of the linkage run parallel to each other and are equal in distance. This type of steering linkage uses four tie rods, one inner and one outer on each side (left and right) that are connected by an adjustment sleeve, a center link (which runs between the tie rods), an idler arm on the passenger side, and a ...

  4. 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:Parallelogram_steering...

    As I understand from your explaination, the image I made is correct, but the text/article isn't. So obviously the image needs to be placed at Ackermann steering (yet perhaps the name needs changing too to Ackermann steering linkage). You also hint that parallellogram steering does exist, but the explaination doesn't match what it exactly is.

  6. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

    Thus, link 1 (total distance between ground joints): + Hand-drawn diagram by James Watt (1808) in a letter to his son, describing how he arrived at the design. [ 1 ] A Watt's linkage is a type of mechanical linkage invented by James Watt in which the central moving point of the linkage is constrained to travel a nearly straight path .

  7. 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.

  9. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    A novel Ackermann-type steering mechanism design by Zhao et al. utilized a five-bar linkage instead of the regular four-bar linkage. [7] A prosthetic ankle-foot by Dong et al. used a geared five-bar spring mechanism to simulate the stiffness and damping behavior of a real foot. [1]
