Rancang Bangun Sistem Kemudi Rack and Pinion dan Suspensi Independent Double Wishbone Mobil Listrik Formula E Politeknik Baja Tegal

Abstract

The Steering and Suspension System is the most important component in a vehicle to align, balance and maximize the performance of the car so that it can run well, safely and comfortably. Although the rack and pinion steering system and independent double wishbone suspension have been around for a long time, there are still many things that need to be overcome and innovated, such as the level of comfort, responsiveness, safety, limited user control and difficulty in overcoming obstacles that are higher than the road surface. As a solution to overcome these problems, researchers develop and innovate steering and suspension system components to be more relevant to the planning of future electric car vehicles through several new features such as independent double wishbone suspension fabrication using rubber bosh arm as a suspension hinge mount, steering axle housing fabrication using ASB UCP 205 bearings, Rear Wheel Hub/Nap Fabrication combined with Koyo 6006 RS bearings as the rear axle housing. The method used in this final project is data collection, steering and suspension system design using Solidworks 2016 software, fabrication, assembly for all components that have been fabricated, painting, assembly to conclusion. Based on the planning, measurement of the steering and suspension system made in this final project there is a final process, the final process is the painting and assembly process.
