Presentation Transcript

  1. Corner Assembly

  2. Purpose • Link between body and tires • Bears load of car and transfers dynamic energies to spring/damping components • Yields Geometric handling advantages based on design parameters • Looks cool

  3. Major Components • Wheel/Tire • Upright • Brakes • A arms • Steering arm • Push-rod

  4. Minor Components • Hub • Spindle • Bearing • Associated Bracketry • Hardware

  5. Key Design Features • Components used on all 4 corners • Rear mounted brakes • Potential for “mass production” • “Lightweight baby” • ~17lbs sans tire, rear will be less

  6. Rear Setup

  7. Manufacturing • Casting • Milling • Laththing • Splining • Bonding • Assembling

  8. Assembly View

  9. Validation • 600lb U/L BJ • 1400 N brake reaction • 600lb steering force • Yeild ~ 22K PSI

  10. BOM

  11. Key things to note from BOM • Sponsorship from Yankee Magcast • Rod ends ~$55 ea • 40 Rod ends ~$2200 w/o tax or discounts • 1” OD Carbon Fiber Tubing ~$100 for 5 ft

  12. Action • Continue FEA Validation Studies • Begin Composite tubing validation • Find cheaper rod ends • Work with sponsors to develop “manufacturing ready” parts, along with any accompanying tooling necessary. • Create detailed dimensioned drawings for internal and external production

  13. Questions • Q/A
