6. Components of automobile chassis
• Frame
• Engine:- It provides motive power to perform the various
function of vehicle.
• Transmission System:-
a) Clutch:- connect or disconnect the engine power
b) Gearbox:- To obtain the various fixed torque ratio acc. To
requirement. And also helps to reverse the vehicle.
c) Universal joint and propeller shaft:- it transmit the torque
from the gear box shaft to the final drive and adjust the length
when vehicle bump or shock.
d) Differential:- to turn the vehicle through right angle
7. e) Axle:- it is a weight carrying portion whether it may be front or
rear. It takes vertical load due to weight of body, shock load during
braking or driving. Side thrust during cornering.
f) Wheel and tyre:- To take vehicle load, provide cushioning effect
and cope with the steering control.
• Suspension System:- it prevent the vehicle body from the road
shock which are in rolling, bouncing and pitching. It provides
comfort to passenger and reduce the stress in frame These are of
two types.
a) Conventional System:- Leaf spring are attached to the rigid axle
b) Independent system:- Here no rigid axle beam and each wheel is
free to move vertically without any reaction on the other wheel.
8. • Controls:-
a) Steering system:- it is used to change the direction of motion of
the vehicle by turning the front wheel.
b) Brake System:- This system provides safety to the vehicle by
stopping quickly or slow down while going down slop.
c) Engine Control:- with demand of fuel supply and accelerator
pedal.
• Electrical controls:-
a) Supply system:- Battery
b) The starting relay
c) The ignition system:- Battery or Magneto- ignition System.
d) Other:- driving light, signalling, reverse light, wiper etc.
9. •Radiator:-
It is a device used to recool the hot engine cooling water
for recirculation purpose.
27. Function of chassis
• To support the load of the body, engine, clutch and gear box
etc.
• To withstand the forces caused due to the sudden braking and
acceleration of the vehicle.
• To carry the load of the passengers or goods carried in the
body.
• To withstand the stress caused due to the bad road condition.

29. Requirements of Automobile Chassis
1. Light in weight
2. Have minimum number of components.
3. Withstand vibrations while in motion.
4. Uniformly distributed load.
5. Cheap and easy in manufacturing.
6. Offer minimum resistance to air.
7. Have long fatigue life.
30. Types of chassis
•Full forward chassis
•Semi-forward chassis
•Bus Chassis
•Engine at front chassis
•Engine fitted at rear
•Engine mounted at center
31. Frame
• Load coming on frame
• Purpose of chassis frame
• Construction of frame
a. Channel section
b. Box Section
c. Tubular Section
Advantages of Frameless Construction
Disadvantages of Frameless Construction
44. Introduction to aerodynamic body shape
• Necessity of Aerodynamic Shape of Body
• Features of Aerodynamic Body Shape of car to improve the Average
of vehicle
• Advantages of Aerodynamic Shape of Body
45. Advantages
• More fuel efficiency
• Good Aesthetics and stylish appearance of car
• More stability of car at higher speed
• Reduces noise level
• Reduce air resistance or air drag
• Reduce driver effort to drive vehicle
• Improve speed of vehicle
• Reduce running cost of vehicle
