Axles Used in Automobiles

  Axle Beam(Rigid Axle Suspension System) The axle beam is a type of suspension system in which one set of wheels is connected laterally by a single beam or shaft. The axle beams are commonly used at the rear wheels of a vehicle, but historically they have also been used as front axles in rear wheel drive vehicles. The axle beam are typically suspended either by leaf springs or coil springs. The advantages of the axle beam is that  it is simple and easy to manufacture. The disadvantage is that it does not allow each wheel to move independently in response to bumps, and the mass of the beam is a part of the unsprung weight of the vehicle, which can further reduce the ride quality.  The following type of axles are used in automobiles: 1.  Live Axle : The live axle contains a big housing for enclosing differential which transmits rotary motion to the wheels. These axles are also known as drive axles.These can be further classified into two categories: a)  Banjo Type : This type of axle ho

History of Automobiles

History of Automobiles The production of the automobile is not the product of a single product, or a single country. It is a combined effort of many persons of different countries for several years, which puts the today's modern automobile on road. Timeline S.N.         Year/Time                       Event 1.              1769                  Captain Nicolas Cugnot   of France built the first actual self-propelled                                                      vehicle  road vehicle. It was a 3 wheeled vehicle(one wheel at the front                                                  and two  at the rear, powered by a steam engine. 2.              1801                   Richard Trevithick   built England's first full sized steam vehicle. 3.              1829                   Williams James   contributed in the development of steam engines in                                                        America. 4.              1876                   Nicolas Otto
