STAND MEASURING ANGLES OF MOUNTING OF WHEELS OF FRONT SUSPENSION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering, instrumentation testing and adjusting angles of mounting of controlled wheels of motor vehicle. SUBSTANCE: stand can be used at automobile assembly and repair plants to adjust angles of mounting of wheels of completely ganged up front suspension before it is mounted in automobile. Stand has bed frame on which two sections are installed in measurement zone on the left and on the right. Measurement section of wheel camber and toe-in includes two measurement mechanisms and two displacement mechanisms of measuring mechanisms. Measurement section of longitudinal angle of inclination of axis of turn of wheel ( caster ) includes measurement mechanism and displacement mechanism of measurement mechanism. Displacement mechanisms of measurement mechanisms in each section are comprised of two parallel plungers made fast to bracket of measurement mechanism and mounted in guiding bushings of section body for axial movement in direction perpendicular to longitudinal symmetry plane of suspension from pneumatic cylinder located between plungers in body and linked with its rod to bracket uniaxially to rest. EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities, increased precision of measurement and adjustment, avoidance of errors of subjective character. 6 dwg
