How to Evaluate Wheel rate?

Wheel rate evaluator uses Wheel Rate of Vehicle = Spring Rate*(Installation Ratio^2)*cos(Damper Angle from Vertical) to evaluate the Wheel Rate of Vehicle, Wheel rate formula is defined as a measure of the angular velocity of a wheel, which is a critical parameter in the design and analysis of rotating systems, such as gears, bearings, and mechanical transmissions, where it plays a vital role in determining the overall performance and efficiency of the system. Wheel Rate of Vehicle is denoted by Kt symbol.

FAQs on Wheel rate

What is the formula to find Wheel rate?
The formula of Wheel rate is expressed as Wheel Rate of Vehicle = Spring Rate*(Installation Ratio^2)*cos(Damper Angle from Vertical). Here is an example- 101.9436 = 60311.79*(0.5^2)*cos(1.56416407563702).
How to calculate Wheel rate?
With Spring Rate (K), Installation Ratio (IR) & Damper Angle from Vertical (Φ) we can find Wheel rate using the formula - Wheel Rate of Vehicle = Spring Rate*(Installation Ratio^2)*cos(Damper Angle from Vertical). This formula also uses Cosine (cos) function(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Wheel Rate of Vehicle?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Wheel Rate of Vehicle-
  • Wheel Rate of Vehicle=Stiffness of Spring*((Motion Ratio in Suspension)^2)*(Spring Angle Correction Factor)OpenImg
  • Wheel Rate of Vehicle=(Tire Rate*Ride Rate of Car)/(Tire Rate-Ride Rate of Car)OpenImg
Can the Wheel rate be negative?
No, the Wheel rate, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Wheel rate?
Wheel 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 rate can be measured.
