How to Calculate Self Aligning Moment or Torque on Wheels?
Self Aligning Moment or Torque on Wheels calculator uses Self Aligning Moment = (Aligning Moment Acting on Left Tires+Aligning Moment on Right Tires)*cos(Lateral Inclination Angle)*cos(Caster Angle) to calculate the Self Aligning Moment, Self aligning moment or torque on wheels formula is defined as the torque that a tire creates as it rolls along, which tends to steer it, i.e. rotate it around its vertical axis. In the presence of a non-zero slip angle, this torque tends to steer the tire toward the direction in which it is traveling. Self Aligning Moment is denoted by Mat symbol.
How to calculate Self Aligning Moment or Torque on Wheels using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Self Aligning Moment or Torque on Wheels, enter Aligning Moment Acting on Left Tires (Mzl), Aligning Moment on Right Tires (Mzr), Lateral Inclination Angle (λl) & Caster Angle (ν) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Self Aligning Moment or Torque on Wheels calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100.4503 = (27+75)*cos(0.1745329251994)*cos(0.0785398163397301).
