Hello,
I was thinking of the design of an Extension for our direct acting damper. I preferred to go through the problem before checking the other designs.
We have a strong limitation in the machining operations specially Milling.
Post is edited as the Image confuses.
The design is to use a rod with one end with spherical joint to the control arm and the other end with revoulte joint to the damper rod.
The damper body will be revoulte joint to the chassis
the 2 revoultes joints axis are perpendicular
(Mobility analysis)
correct me if i'am wrong.
- Number of bodies to consider : 4 (Damper body, Damper Rod, Extension, Ground)
- Number of Spherical Joints : 1 Extension mounting with the control arm
- Number of Revolute joints : 2 Extension to Damper Rod and Damper Body to Chassis Mount.
- Number of Cylindrical Joints :1 Damper Body to Damper Rod.
