Fender Design

Introduction

Fender is the American English term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle or other vehicle body that frames a wheel well. Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire.

Types

• Full bumper type

• Half bumper type

Full bumper type

Now a days it is not used because wastage of material and manufacturing bigger part also time consuming.

Half Bumper Type

These type of fender we used due to less of material used and also we can produce two fender at a same time.

Mounting Region

1-Baffel Area 4-Bumper Area

2- A- Pillar 5- Drip Area

3- sill

Design Consideration

Master Sketch

Drip Area

• It joins fender to engine compartment.
• Here front and rear clearance as shown is important because of adding cowl and wheel housing on that region.
• It should have minimum 200 mm and 150 mm respectively.
• Cowl carries wiper motor and its instrument so to have sufficient space we have minimum 200mm space and for head lamp and housing unit we needs minimum 150 mm space.
