FAQs on Wheel Centre Rate

What is the formula to find Wheel Centre Rate?
The formula of Wheel Centre Rate is expressed as Wheel Centre Rate = (Ride Rate*Tyre Vertical Rate)/(Tyre Vertical Rate-Ride Rate). Here is an example- 35239 = (31756.4*321330)/(321330-31756.4).
How to calculate Wheel Centre Rate?
With Ride Rate (Kr) & Tyre Vertical Rate (Kt) we can find Wheel Centre Rate using the formula - Wheel Centre Rate = (Ride Rate*Tyre Vertical Rate)/(Tyre Vertical Rate-Ride Rate).
What are the other ways to Calculate Wheel Centre Rate?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Wheel Centre Rate-
  • Wheel Centre Rate=(Assumed Initial Roll Rate*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2-Assumed Initial Roll Rate)-Required Anti Roll Bar Rate)/((Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)OpenImg
Can the Wheel Centre Rate be negative?
No, the Wheel Centre Rate, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Wheel Centre Rate?
Wheel Centre Rate is usually measured using the Newton per Meter[N/m] for Surface Tension. Millinewton per Meter[N/m], Gram-Force per Centimeter[N/m], Dyne per Centimeter[N/m] are the few other units in which Wheel Centre Rate can be measured.
