Torque Acting on Steering Arm Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Torque = Frictional Force*Scrub Radius
τ = F_f*R_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque is the rotational force that causes an object to rotate, measured in units of force multiplied by distance, used in steering systems to rotate wheels.
Frictional Force - (Measured in Newton) - Frictional Force is the resistive force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact, affecting the steering system's performance and vehicle stability.
Scrub Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Scrub Radius is the distance from the center of the steering axis to the point where the steering axis intersects the road surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Frictional Force: 150 Newton --> 150 Newton No Conversion Required

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?
