About This Product
The Ackermann steering arrangement lets the two front wheels of a road vehicle turn on different circles during a turn, so neither wheel is dragged sideways. The inner wheel is turned through a larger angle than the outer wheel, and the wheel axes then meet near a common centre in line with the rear axle. This model lets students move the links by hand and observe that change in angle. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Ackerman Steering Gear across India and can export it to Kenya, Libya, Cabo Verde, Honduras, Sierra Leone and Bulgaria.
