Formulary Axle Load Distribution

Axle loads and their distances from the center of gravity

German version

The position of the center of gravity determines the individual axle load. It is only in a state of rest of the vehicle stable. If starting the center of gravity shifts to the rear, if braking forward and with driving along curves it walks somewhat to the circle-outside. It must be calculated for each situation.
