What are vehicle parts?
Vehicle parts are the general name given to the parts they form by decoupling many parts and systems in motor vehicles. For a car to work, many parts and components must be able to work all together and compatible. These parts gain functionality thanks to mechanical, electronic and computer systems.
In this article, we will provide information about car parts and the tasks of these parts. Most of us don't have enough information, except for some basic features of our tools that we use every day. When we encounter a problem, we usually cannot have an idea about the problem without information from auto services or experts in the industry.
Which Vehicle Parts Are Useful For What?
Vehicles can be categorized in 7 categories. These are:
1.Engine
2.Power Transmission Organs
3.Chassi
4.Body
5.Walking Parts
6.Climation System
7.Electronic System
Engine
It is the part that converts the heat energy generated by burning the fuel in the cylinder into motion energy. Within the engine there are different systems such as fuel injection system, air intake system, exhaust system, ignition system, starting system, charging system, lubricating system, cooling system, valve system, sensors, activators, and electronic control unit.
Of course, there are also small different pieces inside each piece. For example, to give information about vehicle engine parts, it will be necessary to mention about 30 different parts.
POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
These organs, another name for which is vehicle propulsion systems, are the organs that provide movement while the engine is running. It consists of parts such as clutch, transmission, differential and axle.
* Clutch (clutch system): Ensures that the movement generated in the engine is transmitted to the transmission and the transmission is interrupted. Decelerates the energy transfer between the engine and the transmission in the event of a gear shift.
* Transmission (gearbox): The turning movement transmitted from the engine flywheel to the clutch system is transmitted to the differential through the transmission. It helps to increase the engine speed and provide the desired traction force.
* Differential: In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the gearbox and differential are located right in the middle of the rear axle, while in front-wheel drive vehicles, the gearbox and differential are all together. It transmits the movement received from the transmission to the wheels, provided that the speed is reduced, but by increasing the traction effort.
* Axle: The axle, transmits the movement it receives from the differential to the wheels. Axles are manufactured from steel.
CHASIS
The chassis is the skeletal system of the vehicle. All parts of the vehicle are mounted on the chassis. A chassis must be durable. It is very important especially because of its structure, which copes with the impact severity at the time of an accident and prevents injuries and deaths by breaking from the necessary points.
In the past, the chassis and body parts of vehicles used to produce and assembled separately. In the new generation vehicles, the chassis and body are now produced together which also reduces the weight of the vehicle. In addition, better results are obtained in terms of vehicle safety.
VECHICLE BODY
The roof of the vehicle, doors, trunk lid, engine hood, front and rear fenders, bumpers, grille, spoiler, windows and mirrors are the parts that bring the body together. Especially when buying a second-hand vehicle, it is the part that is paid the most attention after the engine.
WALKING PARTS
They are wheel connections, spring and shock absorber systems, steering, brakes, tires, and wheels.
