Why different types of engines used?                                     Manufacturers use different types of engines to give a variety of choices according to the economy prices, performances, design, features, and comforts.     The engine commonly differed by cubic capacity(100cc, 350cc) and no of strokes( 2-stroke, 4-stroke). Other than these, an engine can be differentiated by many terms like, No of cylinders. (single, twin) Cylinder placement. (vertically, horizontally) The angle between sibling cylinders. (inline, v-type) Combustion type. (IC, EC) The following are the manufactures most used and famous types of motorbikes engine in the sector. 1.Single cylinder engine: Single-cylinder engines come with a lonely cylinder-piston combo. These engines want to carry the entire load with a piston of four complete strokes. In India, single-cylinder engines are the high-gross sale engine ty...

  What is ABS braking?               ABS stands for Anti-locking Braking System. This is a safety feature that helps to break the vehicle easily without locking the wheel. This automated system uses the concept of a threshold braking system. How do ABS works?               In sudden braking, the wheel gets locked and may not to steer around.  ABS system having speed sensors that detect the speed rapidly. ABS system detects the wheel locking when applying brake and pull-out the brake pads rapidly as 100 times per second. This keeps the wheels from locking and able to steer when applying the brake. You can't feel the ABS pumping when low speeds too. Usually the ABS effective from 25 km/h and more speeds. By preventing the wheel from locking, uniformly we can reduce the speed in emergency situations.            Advantages of ABS: Preventing lock-ups and skidding. Better traction co...

How the braking system differentiated?                         The braking systems are differed by the elements that are used to apply brake force. To make variable brake forces different elements are used in industries. Here we list out the major braking systems used in the industries. Mechanical braking system. Hydraulic braking system. Pneumatic braking system. Electromagnetic braking system. 1. Mechanical braking system:           In the mechanical braking system, moving parts are used to carry the brake force. The brake force is used to make friction between the two parts. Friction makes the rotation energy-reduced, by converting it into heat. Rotation energy(of wheels) - Friction(mechanically) = Braking. The rotation energy(of the wheels) is reduced by converted into heat and other forms of energy with the help of friction. Drum brake:         Drum brakes are the braking system...

Why different types of tyres needed?                   Industries are producing different types of tyres according to their purposes and required characteristics. Basically in India, we know, Tube tyres. Tube-less tyres. Other than this, we need to know the basic two construction tyes of tyres, Bias construction tyre. Radial construction tyre. This is differentiated by the belt construction and different cord material. A tyre has many parts like a crown, sidewall, beads, thread, and plies. According to the material and placing angle, these two-types are derived.  What is Bias? The bias tyre has nylon belt material. The belt is placed 35 - 45 degree angle to the tire tread. It is placed like an inter-locking block section. It has multiple rubber plies overlapping each other. By these plies, the tyre tread and sidewalls are being connected. Thus it creates dependent sidewalls movements.   Characteristics of Bias tyre: Rigid internal b...

  Why different types of cars are produced?               Nowadays, people are very detailed about their dream cars. So, the industry wants to produce different types of cars to make more choices. These types are categorized by several elements like design, cost, usage, storage space, wheel drive, and no of seats. Here we are going to list down the top car types that are being used. *(Different manufacturers provide different sub-types by hybridizing major types. We are listed major types only!) 1. Hatchback Cars: Hatchbacks are usually identified by the cut-down rear end of the car. These are produced with a rear door that can open upwards to cargo instead of the trunk. These cars are compact and easy to drive compared with others. Mostly hatchbacks come with and 5 doors, 2 at the front 2 at the rear on either side and a door for cargo. These are very popular with its low cost and design. Pros: Cost-efficient. Sleek design. Easy to maintenance. H...

What is the need for different fluids in automotive?                          An automotive requires different types of fluids to resolve problems like, Heat conduction High friction Sludge formation Corrosion prevention Hydraulic assistance Surface cleaning. Here, we are going to see the major automotive fluids and their functions. 1. Engine oil / Motor oil: In an engine, more moving parts are presented. These cause forced metal slapping and high wall friction. To reduce the wear and tear caused by friction, engine lubricant is essential. Engine oils are categorized by additives and viscosity(grade). By additives, it is categorized as: Mineral oil Full-synthetic oil Semi-synthetic oil The viscosity categorized it as 15w-40, 20w-40, etc,... The oil viscosity is variable according to heat. It is 15w when it's cold and SAE40 when it's hot. 2. Transmission oil: Transmission oil known as gear oil is often used to reduce the hi...
