conicity

Conicity is a parameter based on lateral force behavior.

The rails generally slant in at the same rate as the wheel conicity.

Top and bottom grinders can be controlled independently to reduce conicity values.

Conicity is an important parameter in production testing.

This necessitates the tire maker measuring conicity and sorting tires into groups of like-values.

In reducing the track gauge the effective conicity is increased - worsened - and the tendency of the wagons to yaw and roll was increased.

The angle of the instrument's conicity is quite wide (though not as wide as that of a saxophone), giving it a characteristically strong and powerful tone.

Conicity is calculated as one-half the difference of the values, keeping in mind that CW and CCW values have opposite signs.

Tires are marked according to various standards that may include RFV high point angle, side of positive conicity, and conicity magnitude.

Radial Runout, Lateral Runout, Conicity, and Bulge measurements are also performed on the tire uniformity machine.

These measurement standards include the parameters of radial force variation, lateral force variation, conicity, plysteer, radial runout, lateral runout, and sidewall bulge.

In order to determine Conicity, lateral force must be measured in both clockwise (LFCW) and counterclockwise direction (LFCCW).

In fact railway vehicles are not contained by the flanges of the wheels except in very sharp curves, and in normal running the steering effect due to the conicity of the wheels is dominant.

While the degree of conicity of the bore does affect the timbre of the instrument much as in a cornet and trumpet, or a euphonium and a trombone, the bore profile of a sousaphone and most tubas is similar.

In many high-performance cars, tires with equal conicity are mounted on left and right sides of the car in order that their conicity effects will cancel each other and generate a smoother ride performance, with little steering effect.
