Abstract


A system of focus within Quad torque involves the throttle assembly. The system is composed of a intricate pedal system and a less complex cable system to transmit the pedal motion to the engine throttle. Enough focus is given on the pedal assembly, but not enough on the cable assembly. In regular vehicles, the throttle pedals are heavy in weight and are made of alloy steel or aluminium. In this work, we optimise the weight of the pedal (weight reduction by 50%) keeping strength parameters unaffected, using topology modelling, 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The deformation point of throttle pedal is safer than traditional one when it is simulated with SolidWorks and checked with varying stress, strain and deformation. Since the aspects of the body and topology model is well designed, the stress, strain and displacement are in blue region respectively.
