Abstract:
Ball joints located in the front suspension of the vehicles are universal joints that enable the vertical movement of the wheels to be applied to the rotation from the steering commands. Ball joints work within precise geometric tolerances regarding driving safety and comfort, as they take part in the vehicle's interaction with the driver. The manufacturers determine the force-displacement behavior of the ball joint under load and optimum clearance values are defined in terms of comfort and safety. Within the scope of quality control, the load-displacement cycles are measured by subjecting the samples fixed from the ball joint body to tension-compression cycles in the direction of the rod axis. This study, it is aimed to determine an appropriate methodology to be used in the application of these tests, which are applied in a very narrow displacement range and relatively high force values. Within the scope of the mentioned methodology, a unique test fixture was developed to test the force-displacement behavior of the ball joints in accordance with the operating condition in the suspension system. In this framework, necessary design optimizations and verifications have been applied in order to obtain reproducible measurements.
