The VDMA flatness requirement was included in the FEM 10.2.14 / 4.103 – 1 and from September 2021 in the European standard EN 15 620. It is therefore an official European flatness standard which must be met. This standard was developed at the request and with the approval of VNA forklift truck manufacturers, flooring contractors, engineering firms and universities, and is based on years of scientific research. VDMA is the only standard worldwide that controls all undulations that influence the driving behaviour of the forklift truck. The undulation of a floor is a combination of both (medium) long and short waiviness.
Engineering is a visual subject. The book contains hundreds of hand-drawn, labeled diagrams. These are clean and easy to reproduce in university exam answer sheets. For a student, being able to draw a neat sectional view of a multi-plate clutch or a differential gearbox is half the battle won, and this book teaches exactly that.
: Examination of various suspension systems, front axle design, and steering geometry.
Features extensive hand-drawn and technical sketches to explain complex linkages.
