There are several material removal techniques that are performed using different machine tools. There are wide ranges of cutting tool materials that are used by machine tools. The different material removal techniques involved are: • Material removal with single point metal cutting tool. • Use of multipoint metal cutting tool for material removal. • Abrasives…

There are mainly two types of charging methods in Automobiles namely constant voltage charging and constant current charging: Constant Voltage Charging: In this method, the charging voltage is kept constant throughout the charging process. In this method, the charging current is high at first, when the battery is discharged, and gradually drops off as the…

Definition: Batteries use sponge lead and lead peroxide to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. This type of battery is called the lead-acid battery. Lead-acid batteries are often used in power stations and substations because of their high cell voltage and low cost. Construction of lead-acid batteries The different parts of lead-acid batteries are shown…

All alternators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. According to this act, a conductor, magnetic field, and mechanical energy are required to generate electricity The main parts of an alternator are, apparently, a stator and a rotor. But, unlike other machines, in most alternators, the field exciter rotates and the armature coil becomes stationary….
Definition of Dynamo An electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into direct current electricity. Dynamo construction It consists of three main parts, namely the magnetic field system, the armature and the commutator, and the brush gear. Other parts of a DC generator are a magnetic frame and yoke, pole core and pole shoes, field or…
Construction of Bendix drive The figure shows the Bendix drive to start the motor. It is attached to the starter motor armature shaft. The drive head is fitted to the end of the armature shaft. The pinion gear, which has internal threads, is mounted in a threaded sleeve, just like a bolt nut. The sleeve…
Starter Motor: A starter motor converts the electrical energy stored in the battery into mechanical energy to crank the engine for starting. A simple electric motor includes a horseshoe-shaped soft-iron yoke with field windings wound around each of the two pole pieces. The armature winding rotates between the pole-pieces with its ends attached to each…
What is a wheel? A wheel is a circular object with a rim and hub, as the main parts rotate around an axis to allow it to move easily on the ground. Types of wheels There are the following types of wheels, as follows: Pressed steel disc wheel This type of disc wheel will be…
Automobile Suspension System Road Irregularities: 1. Daily use of road infrastructure, continual changes in weather conditions, and vehicle overweight will produce different wear patterns of the road surface. 2. Furthermore, a poor road construction process will eventually lead to uneven road surfaces. 3. Almost 20% of accidents are caused by the state of the infrastructure….
Corning force is simply the physical force applied to the tires during the corner. When you think about how well your vehicle handles, you’re thinking about how tires transfer the work of your vehicle’s engine and suspension system to the road through cornering force. Cornering force gives the tires the strength to stick to the…
WHAT IS UNDERSTEER? Understeer is when a vehicle turns less than the required angle through the steering, meaning the front tires struggle for traction, causing the vehicle to spin below normal and push extensively during a turn. WHAT CAUSES UNDERSTEER? Understeer happens as a result of drivers input. Turning the steering wheel sharply, abruptly, or…

The steering system can be classified into forwarding steering, rear steering, or integral steering. The system that regulates the angular movement of the front wheels of a vehicle is called the steering system. This flight system minimizes the effort of the operator to turn the front wheel with the application of levers. The different components…
