Axle boot

60%
Axle boots are plastic or rubber bellows that cover the joints of a drive shaft. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Value retention Safety The drive shaft transmits the engine torque from the gearbox or differential to the wheels. Because the wheels move up and down during driving, the drive shaft is not rigid. Drive shafts have joints that compensate for the resulting angles and ensure that the shaft does not snap. These joints are protected by axle boots, which are also known…

Should you own a car?

The accumulators or batteries of electric cars and hybrid vehicles supply electric energy to the electric motor(s). This energy is then converted into the mechanical kinetic energy required for propulsion. hybrid,electric Function Design and operating principle Capacity Charging process Protection of the environment Value retention Like internal combustion engines, electric drives also need energy. In electric cars, the required energy is saved in accumulators, i.e. batteries.…

Independent suspension

59%
The wheel suspension assumes a crucial role in the vehicle chassis. It establishes the connection between the wheels and the vehicle’s body and transfers all forces and torques between the wheels and bodywork. The wheel suspension is intended to ensure safe driving characteristics and the highest possible comfort. There is a differentiation between independent suspensions, rigid axles and torsion-beam axles. If the axle in question is a driving axle, it ensures that the driving…
