How are wheel rates calculated?
It is basically the Spring Rate multiplied by the motion ratio squared. This motion ration can be estimate by knowing the distance of the wheel to the pivot point of the suspension arm and the distance to the spring from the pivot point. So the equation for Wheel Rate is the Motion Ratio squared times the Spring Rate.
What is a wheel rate?
Wheel rate is effectively the spring rate when measured at the wheel as opposed to at the spring. It is important to understand the wheel rate of a vehicle for calculating the spring rates and understanding the car dynamically.
What is wheel travel in suspension?
Travel. Travel is the measure of distance from the bottom of the suspension stroke (such as when the vehicle is on a jack, and the wheel hangs freely) to the top of the suspension stroke (such as when the vehicle’s wheel can no longer travel in an upward direction toward the vehicle).
What is ACC wheel rate?
The effective spring constant, in units of force-over-displacement, measured at the wheel. This value is different from the actual spring’s constant due to suspension leverage.
What is wheel center rate?
Wheel rate or wheel center rate is vertical force acting on the tire per unit vertical displacement at the location along the spindle corresponding to the wheel centerline,measured relative to the chassis.
How do you calculate total wheel travel?
Since the circumference is equal to πx D, it is equal to: 3.14 x 3.125″ = 9.81″. With the wheel turning 9.81″ in one revolution, it would travel: 9.81″ x 3.625 revolutions or 35.56″ total.
How do you determine spring rate?
To test the spring rate, the spring is placed into a spring rate tester, like shown above, and is pre-compressed one inch (or millimeters if you’re using that measurement) and then compressed further to get the measurement for the next inch of compression.
