How does the McPherson bearing function?

McPherson Bearing (McPherson Bearing) is a special structure of the bearing, often used in automotive suspension systems. It is a unit composed of a hub bearing and a self-steering bottom ball articulated head, which can play the role of support, shock absorption and force transmission in the suspension system of the front wheel of the car. The main functions of McPherson bearings include:

Supporting role: McPherson bearings carry the weight of the vehicle and support the entire suspension system. It can withstand the vertical force generated by the vehicle during driving, ensuring stable contact between the wheel and the ground.

Damping effect: McPherson bearing through the internal structural design and rubber gaskets and other shock-absorbing components, can effectively absorb and slow down the impact force generated by the uneven road or bumpy road when the vehicle is driving, improve ride comfort and vehicle stability.

Transmission force and steering flexibility: McPherson bearings can also transmit the steering force and handling force of the vehicle to the tire, so that the vehicle has good steering flexibility and stability, improve driving handling and steering accuracy.

In general, McPherson bearings play an important role of support, shock absorption and force transmission in automotive suspension systems, and play a vital role in ensuring vehicle safety, comfort and stability.
