GATE VALVE APPLICATION

Gate valves consist of a solid wedge mounted within the valve body, which is connected to the internal end of the valve stem. A handwheel actuator is connected to the external end of the valve stem for manual operation. When the valve stem is turned completely in the counterclockwise direction, the wedge is raised to […]

ackermann steering geometry

Caster angle θ indicates kingpinpivot line and gray area indicates vehicle’s tire with the wheel moving from right to left. A positive caster angle aids in directional stability, as the wheel tends to trail, but a large angle makes steering more difficult. Curves described by the rear wheels of a conventional automobile. While the vehicle
