camber (angle)

GBK English to Finnish Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Definition from Wikipedia:
Camber angle is the angle made by the wheel of an automobile; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheel and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear.
Example sentences:
The tilted steering axis has another important effect on suspension geometry. Since the wheel rotates about a tilted axis, the wheel gains camber as it is turned. (ozebiz.com.au)
This pendulum type tool has 3 zones marked out on the bottom foot. Each zone, or the area in each zone, represents the allowable, or designed, amount of camber angle of a wheel in different positions. (2cvtools.com)
However, the effect of the strong camber on the wheel and the softer tyre is to give negative results, as the outer part of the tyre becomes deformed, and turns with a smaller rotation radius then the inner part, with the consequent increased wear on the outer strip of tread, (wheels in motion)

camber-kulma

Definition from AutoWiki:
Camber-kulma on auton pyöräntuennassa renkaan pystysuoran akselin ja auton pystysuoran akselin välinen kulma, kun autoa katsotaan edestä tai takaa. Camber-kulmaa käytetään auton pyöräntuennan ja ohjauksen suunnittelussa. Jos pyörän yläreuna on kauempana korista kuin alareuna, kutsutaan sitä positiiviseksi camber-kulmaksi. Jos pyörän alarena on kauempana kuin yläreuna, kutsutaan sitä negatiiviseksi camber-kulmaksi.
Example sentences:
Usein renkaisiin sorvataan samalla oikea camber-kulma. Tämä on mahdollista hudyn sorveilla - helposti yhtä ruuvia kiertämällä. (Dantom Oy)
