PRINCIPLE OF WORKING
Ackermann steering mechanism
Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement
of linkages in the steering of a car or other
vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the
inside and outside of a turn needing to trace outcircles of
different radius.
When the vehicle moves along straight path, the longer links AB
and CD are parallel and the shorter links BC and AD are equally
inclined to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
When the vehicle moves left, the position of the gear is shown by
dotted lines in fig.
Davis Steering
This is an exact steering gear mechanism. This
mechanism fulfils the above steering condition. But due
to presence of more sliding members, the wear will be
increased and this eliminates the accuracy.

Difference between Ackermann
and Davis mechanism
• The whole mechanism is on back of the front wheels ,
whereas in Davis ,it is in front of the wheels.
• It consists of turning pairs, whereas in Davis, it consists
of sliding pairs.
