predetermined position relative to the other structure, the at least one proximity switch (62, 94) and the at least one magnet (66, 102) are aligned in close proximity, thereby activating the proximity switch (62, 94) to, in turn, actuate a lift mechanism for the steerable axle (20) ....
the first and second structures moves to a predetermined position relative to the other structure, the at least one proximity switch and the at least one magnet are aligned in close proximity, thereby activating the proximity switch to, in turn, actuate a lift mechanism for the steerable axle....
The tire wear possibility due to use of non-steerable lift axle is estimated through simulation using full vehicle model in ADAMS. The operating zone of the vehicle, where maximum tire wear can occur, is identified through simulation. Different alternatives to reduce tire wear for this scenario ...
The steering axle for each wheel is formed by a bolt, screw or rivet which passes through the ring mounting which is fixed non-rotatably to the vehicle body, and through the roller bearing and U-shaped mounting. A threaded nut on the base of the steering axle holds the assembly together...
