Castor describes the angle of the King-Pin=the pin which the front wheel is steering around More castor gives more front grip(steering) during acceleration and less during braking
A small vessel with a perforated top from which one casts or sprinkles sugar or condiments such as pepper A castor set is a matching group of castors, which, together with cruets, form a condiment set
cas·tor castors in AM usually use, and in BRIT sometimes use caster Castors are small wheels fitted to a piece of furniture so that it can be moved more easily. another spelling of caster
the northernmost of the two bright stars in the constellation Gemini, the other being Pollux
(Mühendislik) Caster angle or castor angle is the angular displacement from the vertical axis of the suspension of a steered wheel in a car, bicycle or other vehicle, measured in the longitudinal direction. It is the angle between the pivot line (in a car - an imaginary line that runs through the center of the upper ball joint to the center of the lower ball joint) and vertical. Car racers sometimes adjust caster angle to optimize their car's handling characteristics in particular driving situations
in ancient Greek and Roman stories, two brothers who were twins (=two children born at the same time) , and who had many adventures. The group of stars known as Gemini or the Heavenly Twins is named after them
(Ricinus communis) A pale-coloured oil extracted from castor oil beans, the seeds of the castor-oil plant The shrub is a flowering plant up to 12 m high, native to tropical Africa and Asia It is cultivated widely, in the tropics for its seeds, from which castor oil is extracted, and in temperate regions as an ornamental shrub (seldom taller than 2 m) The oil, when used in cosmetics, acts as a humectant; it attracts and retains moisture to the skin It is also a thickener and an emollient Medically, it is used as a laxative and industrially it is used as a drying oil in paints and varnishes
Castor oil is a thick yellow oil that is obtained from the seeds of the castor oil plant. It has a very unpleasant taste and in former times was used as a medicine. A colorless or pale yellowish oil extracted from the seeds of the castor-oil plant, used pharmaceutically as a laxative and skin softener and industrially as a lubricant. a thick oil made from the seeds of a plant and used in the past as a medicine to make the bowels empty (Probably from castor (16-19 centuries), from castor (14-19 centuries), from , from kastor; because castor oil was once used instead of castor in medicines)
Rich in fatty acids and lubricating to the skin High percentage of ricinoleic acid leads to high viscosity Acts as an humectant Great in combination with other oils in soap
Castor Oil is a generic term for bottles containing this substance commonly used in the belief that it could cure a number of maladies at the turn of the century They are the most commonly found blue bottles and castor oil was packaged in the distinctive long necked bottles up until 1930 Many "older" citizens can remember having had castor oil forced into them during their formative years!

This soothing and lubricating ingredient is a colorless or light yellow oil extracted from the seeds of the castor-oil plant A large plant native to tropical Africa and Asia, the castor-oil plant is also grown for its ornamental value Used for its fine-quality lubricating properties, it can also act as a cathartic when taken internally
Large plant (Ricinus communis) of the spurge family, probably native to Africa and naturalized throughout the tropics. It is grown commercially for the pharmaceutical and industrial uses of its oil and for use in landscape gardening because of its handsome, giant, fanlike leaves. The bristly, spined, bronze-to-red clusters of fruits are attractive but are often removed before they mature because of the poison concentrated in their mottled, beanlike seeds. There are hundreds of natural forms and many horticultural varieties of this species
large shrub of tropical Africa and Asia having large palmate leaves and spiny capsules containing seeds that are the source of castor oil and ricin; widely naturalized throughout the tropics
A wheel alignment angle that refers to the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis on the front wheels (See Alignment) A forward tilt of the steering axis is called "negative" caster while a rearward tilt is called "positive " The caster angle has no affect on tread wear but it does affect steering return and stability Most vehicle have a certain amount of positive caster The higher the caster angle the more steady the car feels at high speed (Mercedes, for example, uses a very high caster setting) But the higher the caster angle, the greater the steering effort The caster angle on many strut suspensions is fixed at the factory and is not adjustable
The angle between the steering axis and the vertical, as viewed from the side It is considered positive when the steering axis is inclined rearward at top
The forward or backward tilt of a car's front wheels that, when aligned properly, will make them follow naturally in a straight line The caster setting is what helps the car return to straight after turning a corner
(Otomotiv) The forward or backward tilt of a car's front wheels that, when aligned properly, will make them follow naturally in a straight line. The caster setting is what helps the car return to straight after turning a corner
The deviation from vertical of the axis about which the front or steering wheels pivot Caster is termed "positive" when the steering axis is tipped toward the rear of the vehicle, and "negative" when this axis tips toward the front of the vehicle
Almost every car has some caster built-in Caster is the angle that the car's front wheels pivot on when turning Most on-road Touring Car type kits use between 5 and 10 degrees of caster Off-road kits like buggies and trucks have about 25 to 30 degrees of 'kick-up' on the front axles More caster generally gives more steering going into a turn, but less coming out The opposite is also true: less caster give less steering going into a turn (initial steering), but more steering as you exit Caster also gives more stability on straightaways, but this effect is more pronounced in 2WD vehicles
Another measure of chassis tuning related to the front wheels The front wheels are attached to the suspension at the top and bottom of the wheel assembly The top attachment is typically set a little farther back than the lower attachment, creating caster The more caster used, the more the wheel resists turning forces, providing stability Too much caster makes it very difficult to steer, and causes the tire camber to change significantly as the wheel is turned Not enough caster results in the front end "wandering," or trying to turn on its own
The inclination of the kingpin as seen from the side If the top of the kingpin is tilted rearward this contributes the steering's tendency to return to center
this is the angle that the front kingpin makes to in relation to the imaginary line perpendicular to the ground Increasing caster increases steering entering a turn, but decreases steering exiting a turn Decreasing will have the opposite effect
Very often confused with kingpin incline because the axle is set back from the kingpin Adding kingpin incline reduces caster angle! Having 0° kingpin incline gives most caster this helps the car straighten up coming out of a bend, adding kingpin incline reduces this
The angle, from vertical, of the kingpin in relation to the ground Caster can have a great effect on how a vehicle enters and exits turns and corners Increasing positive caster, so that the kingpin is angled back, will generally increase steering going into a corner and a slight decrease in steering coming out Less positive caster will decrease the amount of steering going into a corner, but will increase the amount of steering in the middle and while exiting that corner
a pivoting roller attached to the bottom of furniture or trucks or portable machines to make them movable a shaker with a perforated top for sprinkling powdered sugar a worker who casts molten metal into finished products
An alignment spec where an imaginary line through the ball joints (steering axis) intersects a vertical line through the front wheel center Positive caster delivers directional stability and improved steering feel
Chassis : Relative position of the top A-arm ball joint to the bottom A-arm ball joint In ATVs, the top A-arm trails slightly behind the bottom A-arm (positive caster)
