Strong bones, secrets of motorcycle frames

Author:


Although athletes and motorcycles have different identities, they have one thing in common.

Just as a good athlete needs strong bones to support himself, a motorcycle needs an excellent frame to support himself. The frame is one of the important components of the motorcycle, which directly affects the handling performance and riding comfort of the motorcycle.

In the development of motorcycles, the materials of the frame also continue to develop and evolve. Early motorcycles mainly used steel frame, but with the progress of science and technology, the frame materials gradually diversified.

In addition to steel pipes, materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys and carbon fibers are also widely used in motorcycle frames. Moreover, the current motorcycle even appeared to configure a variety of materials mixed frame.

Steel tube cradle frame Steel tube cradle frame is a simple and common frame structure. Its basic structure has the form of single cradle, double cradle and semi-double cradle.

The advantages of this frame are simple structure and low manufacturing cost. It is suitable for street cars with small and medium displacement and cruise cars or retro motorcycles that do not pursue high speed.

Steel tube lattice frame Steel tube lattice frame is a frame structure widely used in large and medium displacement street cars.

It adopts circular tube or oval tube, which is assembled into a grid girder structure by welding process. The advantages of this frame are strong structure and light weight.

It can provide stable handling performance while maintaining the overall weight of the motorcycle.

A brief analysis of the structural characteristics of motorcycle frames and their maintenance

As a part of the motorcycle assembly, the motorcycle frame bears a variety of complex loads. The strength, stiffness and inherent characteristics of its structure are important design indicators of the frame. Most motorcycle frames adopt complex tube and plate welding structures, which are the supporting framework of the motorcycle. In the whole vehicle, it must not only meet the requirements of many body parts installation, but also ensure the smooth running of the vehicle, therefore, the structural size and shape accuracy of the frame are required to be high. Motorcycle frame is often deformed after welding, which not only directly affects the assembly and performance of the whole vehicle, but also may reduce the carrying capacity of the frame structure and cause accidents. Therefore, it is very important to limit and eliminate welding deformation in manufacturing. It is of great practical value to carry out the optimization design of motorcycle frame structure and improve its performance.

What is the role of the motorcycle frame?

The frame is the skeleton of a motorcycle. It organically connects the engine, transmission system, suspension, steering, wheels, etc. to form a whole. It not only bears the weight of the engine and other components, but also receives impact and vibration during driving. Therefore, it must have sufficient strength and rigidity, simple structure, and good manufacturing technology.
