Breakover angle

src: 4wheelsandamotor.com

The breakover angle is the maximum possible additional angle (usually stated in degrees) that the vehicle, with at least one front wheel and one rear wheel, can go without the top of the angle touching any point of the vehicle other than the wheel. This definition depends on the wheel that is continuously in contact with the supporting surface. The breakover angle can also be called a "break-over angle" or "break over angle." The breakover angle differs from ground clearance at ground clearance is the shortest distance between the ground and the lowest point on the vehicle.

Relevance

Breakover angle is a performance metric that is relevant in many common vehicle scenarios, including:

• Off-roading.
• Load the vehicle to a higher surface by incline.
• Pass the upgraded train crossings.
• Skip the speed bump
• Skip the link

If a vehicle drove over a breakover angle is greater than what it is capable of cleaning, the vehicle will contact the top of the corner, which will most likely prevent the vehicle from proceeding further in its direction of travel, possibly even completely disabling the vehicle..

Calculation

Assuming no deflection of the tire, and assuming the ideal breakout angle scenario (two flat surfaces coming to a point, the vehicle with the lowest point of the chassis located in its center, etc.), an approach the vehicle breakover angle can be calculated as follows:

${\ displaystyle {\ text {breakover angle}} _ {approximate} = 2 \ cdot \ arctan \ left ({\ frac {2 \ cdot {\ text {ground clearance}}} {\ text {wheelbase}}} \ right)} Â Â$
