Go-Kart is a racing vehicle having very low ground clearance and can be work on only flat racing circuits. The design process of this single-person go-kart is iterative and based on several engineering processes. There is no suspension system provided for go-kart so it becomes very complicated to design such a flexible chassis which can be work for suspension during the turns.
“Our main focus of designing the GO-KART is on safety, driver ergonomics, cost efficiency and simplicity of design. Also we have focused on every single system to improve the performance of each component without comprising the final set parameters.”
The designing work is done to achieve the best standardized as well as optimized design possible to meet international standards. Besides performance, consumer needs of serviceability, endurance ability and affordability were also kept in concern which we got to know through the market and internet research and reviews for go-kart vehicles. After the primary specifications were set 3-D software model is prepared in CATIA software. After the solid modeling the design is tested against all types of failure by conducting various simulations and stress analysis in ANSYS Software. Based on the result obtained from these tests the design is modified accordingly..
In Go-kart we use CVT(continuously variable transmission).
CVT is light weight, gear reduction system .The CVT is a compact system and as will be described , it does not require the use of bulky gear set or as many components as in the convectional transmission Conventional automatic transmissions use a set of gears that provides a given number of ratios (or speeds).
