Torque Acting on Steering Arm Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Torque = Frictional Force*Scrub Radius
T = F_f*r_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. In brief, it is a moment of force. It is characterized by τ.
Frictional Force - (Measured in Newton) - Frictional Force is the force that opposes the tyre rubber from sliding on the road surface.
Scrub Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Scrub Radius is the distance in front view between the king pin axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Frictional Force: 300 Newton --> 300 Newton No Conversion Required
Scrub Radius: 22 Millimeter --> 0.022 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = F_f*r_s --> 300*0.022

Evaluating ... ...

T = 6.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.6 Newton Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.6 Newton Meter <-- Torque

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Understeer Gradient

Go Understeer Gradient = (Load on Front Axle at High Speed Cornering/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Cornering Stiffness of Front Wheels))-(Load on Rear Axle at High Speed Cornering/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Cornering Stiffness of Rear Wheels))

Understeer Increment due to Steering System Compliance

Go Under Steer Increment due to Steering Compliance = (Weight under Front Axle*(Turning Radius of Car*Caster Angle+Pneumatic Trail of Tire))/Effective Stiffness of Steering System

Pinion Pitch Circle Radius

Go Pinion Pitch Circle Radius = (Number of Pinion Teeth*Linear or Circular Pitch)/(2*pi)

Steering Ratio

Go Steering Ratio = Steering Wheel Radius/Pinion Pitch Circle Radius

Motion Ratio or Installation Ratio in Suspension

Go Motion Ratio in Suspension = Spring/Shock Travel/Wheel Travel

Torque Acting on Steering Arm

Go Torque = Frictional Force*Scrub Radius

Torque Acting on Steering Arm Formula

Torque = Frictional Force*Scrub Radius
T = F_f*r_s

Which increases the torque in the steering system?

In the case of constant vehicle speed, as the steering wheel angle increases, the steering torque should increase to ensure the steering feel; when the angular speed of the steering wheel is large, it means that the direction of the vehicle is changing rapidly, and the steering torque should be appropriately increased.

How to Calculate Torque Acting on Steering Arm?

Torque Acting on Steering Arm calculator uses Torque = Frictional Force*Scrub Radius to calculate the Torque, The Torque acting on Steering Arm is defined as torque steer, the unintended influence of engine torque on the steering, especially in front-wheel-drive vehicles. Torque is denoted by T symbol.

How to calculate Torque Acting on Steering Arm using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Torque Acting on Steering Arm, enter Frictional Force (F_f) & Scrub Radius (r_s) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Torque Acting on Steering Arm calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6 = 300*0.022.
