The deviation of a side edge from a straight line, the measurement being taken on the concave side with a straight edge
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
Tilting of the top of the wheels from the vertical When tilt is outward, camber is positive
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
The angle between the centerline of the tire and a vertical line as viewed from the front
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
Front end alignment angle, the angle that the wheel leans in or out-board of the vehicle
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
