What Are the Units of Surface Roughness? - AP PGECET From Ra and Rz to RT and N7, understanding the different surface roughness units can be a bit overwhelming However, armed with knowledge about these units, you will gain a deeper understanding of surface roughness and be better equipped to evaluate and communicate surface finish specifications
Stop Doing That…Do This Instead: Setting Adjustable Shocks Suspension experts consistently stress the importance of having a baseline shock setting, and to fine-tune adjustments in basic, definable steps “Simply guessing is not a tuning strategy,” said our source at QA1 These components allow for fine-tuning to achieve that perfect suspension balance
Smoothness Specs 101 (Understanding Specs) - Smooth Pavements Formal smoothness specifications, however, are designed to look at overall pavement smoothness to help ensure user satisfaction There are two basic types of smoothness specifications: those that consider measured smoothness, and those that consider actual ride quality Measured Smoothness
Suspension: Your Guide to a Smoother Ride - Reliable Automotive The following tips can help you get a smoother ride from your car or truck The Spring helps the vehicle adjust to the different conditions on the road, distributes the weight of the car evenly, and determines the height of your ride
Uniformity, Repeatability, Stability, and Accuracy Stability deals with the degree to which sensor characteristics remain constant over time Changes in stability, also known as drift, can be due to components aging, decrease in sensitivity of components, and or a change in the signal to noise ratio, etc Amplified pyranometers from Apogee Instruments illustrate this concept well with a
The Science of Smooth Rides: Understanding Suspension Systems Active suspension systems use sensors and electronic control units to continuously adjust damping levels and other parameters based on driving conditions This technology enhances ride comfort and handling dynamics, adapting in real-time to varying road surfaces and driving situations
