It's the adjustment of a wheels alignment where the top of the wheel is moved inward or outward from vertical as viewed from the front of the vehicle Incorrect camber reduces tire life
Camber is an upward curvature of the chords of a joist or joist girder induced during shop fabrication to compensate for deflection due to loading conditions Note, this is in addition to the pitch of the top chord
This is the term that refers to angle of wheel alignment that measures the top of a tire tilting out or in For instance, if a car's camber angle on a tire is too positive, then the top of the tire is tilting outward and will result in excessive wear on the outside rib of the tire tread In the camber angle is too negative then the top of the tire is tilting too far inward and the resulting wear will be on the inmost rib of tread This angle can be adjusted either by mechanical adjustment or the addition or removal of shims, which tilt the top of the tire in or out Excessive camber results in tire wear
Slight convexity above the horizontal plane; in a beam, truss, or deck, to allow for self weight plus imposed load Also, the amount of rise between the crown and one perimeter on a road or traveled surface (8)
When a snowboard is placed on a flat surface, the center portion of the board is raised and it rests only on the tip and tail This curvature in the snowboard effectively aids in turning Camber is measured by looking at the amount of space between the center of the base and the flat surface on which it rests
1 Camber is the deviation of a side edge from a straight edge Measurement is taken by placing a straight edge on the concave side of a sheet and measuring the distance between the sheet edge and the straight edge in the center of the arc Camber is caused by one side being elongated more than the other 2 The hook or dogleg near the ends of a coil
The angle, from vertical, of the wheels Negative camber is when the top of the tire is closer to the center of the vehicle than the bottom of the tire Negative camber is commonly used to add stability in bumps Positive camber is when the bottom of the tire is closer to the center of the vehicle than the top of the tire Positive camber is not commonly used
A lengthwise arch or bow built into a ski to make it more flexible Generally speaking, a lower camber is better for Alpine skiing, because it makes turning easier, while a higher camber is better for cross country, because it allows for better gliding See Alpine camber; double camber; Nordic camber
Seen from the front and rear of the car, the angle of the tires in relation to the ground; tires that are perfectly perpendicular to the ground (90 degrees) are said to be at 'zero camber' If the tops of the tires lean towards each other, the tires have negative camber, and if they lean out, the tires have positive camber As a general rule, never have positive camber, and make sure the camber of, say, your front right wheel equals the camber of your front left wheel (make the camber angles on each axle match) If we were talking about oval racing, the rules would be different, but we're not Sedan racing, with it's straights, turns and chicanes requires that, among other things, camber angles match Usually one degree of negative camber on the fronts is good, because you want a good contact patch throughout a turn, and one or two degrees of negative camber on the rear wheels is fine From there, experiment, one degree at a time
The angle along the vertical axis of the tire/wheel when looking at the car directly from the front or the rear Camber is affected when cars are raised or lowered from stock Negative camber is when the top of the tire is tilted closer to the car and the bottom of the tire is tilted outward (when looking from the front or the rear) Up to a certain degree (no pun intended) negative camber is ok and may even be desirable
If you draw a line through the center of the airfoil that's exactly half-way between the top and bottom surface, you get the mean airfoil line Depending upon the airfoil, it can be straight or curved This curve is called the "camber" of the airfoil If it has a lot of curve, the airfoil is said to be "highly-cambered"
the alignment of the wheels of a motor vehicle closer together at the bottom than at the top a slight convexity (as of the surface of a road) curve upward in the middle
(Otomotiv) A wheel alignment adjustment of the inward or outward tilt on the top of the wheel when viewed from the front of the car. Improves handling and reduces tire wear
A wheel alignment adjustment of the inward or outward tilt on the top of the wheel when viewed from the front of the car Improves handling and cuts tire wear
A camber is a gradual downward slope from the centre of a road to each side of it. a slight curve from the centre of a road or other surface to the side, which makes water flow to the side (cambre, from cambrer , from camur )
