Power Steering Assembly With Targeted and Adjustable Compensation of Roadside Shock Pulses to the Steering Gear and Method for Designing a Power Steering Assembly
A power steering assembly for an electromechanical power steering system of motor vehicles, in particular utility vehicles, includes a steering gear, the steering gear being designed to transmit a rotational movement introduced by a steering element such as a steering wheel, via an input side of the steering gear, to an output side of the steering gear. The power steering assembly converts a movement derived from the output side of the steering gear into a rotational movement of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle about a steering axis. An adjustable absorption unit is provided for at least partially absorbing roadside shocks which have been absorbed via the wheel of the motor vehicle. A separate preloading unit is designed to interact with the adjustable absorption unit such that a predetermined preloading force is exerted onto the adjustable absorption unit.
WORM WHEEL OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS
A worm wheel of an electric power steering apparatus includes: an inner wheel coupled to a steering shaft; an outer wheel disposed outside an outer circumference of the inner wheel and having a plurality of teeth on an outer circumferential surface to be engaged with a worm of a worm shaft; and a damper interposed between the inner wheel and the outer wheel.
REAR AXLE STEERING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
The disclosure relates to a steering system useful for providing stable control during rear axle steering of harvesters, such as self-propelled windrowers. The steering system utilizes a single steering cylinder and retracted caster cylinders to regulate rotation of the casters during rear axle road operation mode. The steering system locks the steering cylinder and uses the caster cylinders for damping during in-field operation mode.
SUBFRAME FOR A REAR AXLE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A subframe for a rear axle of a motor vehicle includes a transverse structure and a steering device for wheels of the motor vehicle which are fastened to the rear axle. In the installed state of the subframe in the motor vehicle, the transverse structure extends in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle. The transverse structure includes an upper transverse structure element and a lower transverse structure element. The steering device is arranged between the upper transverse structure element and the lower transverse structure element.
POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY MOUNTS WITH TAPERED PROTRUSIONS
Example power steering assembly mounts with tapered protrusions apparatus disclosed herein include a power steering assembly. The power steering assembly includes a housing. The housing includes a flexible mount and a rigid mount to attach the power steering assembly to a subframe. The rigid mount includes a tapered protrusion to deform the subframe to reduce movement of the rigid mount relative to the subframe
Rack assist type electric power steering apparatus
The present invention provides a rack assist type electric power steering apparatus that may include: a ball nut configured to be coupled to the outer circumferential side of a rack bar through balls that are coupled to a screw thread formed on the inner circumferential surface; a nut pulley configured to be coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the central portion of the ball nut in the axial direction; and a rotational support member configured to be coupled between the outer circumferential surface of the ball nut and the rack housing while supporting both side ends of the nut pulley.
Mounting assembly for vehicle
The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a vehicle for coupling, to a chassis, a housing in which a steering device is mounted, the mounting assembly including: a first bush that is configured to be coupled to a mounting hole that is formed in the housing, and is configured to have a coupling groove formed therein; a second bush that is configured to be provided between the housing and the chassis, and is configured to have a through hole formed to lead to the coupling groove; and a bolt that is configured to fix the housing to the chassis, wherein the second bush is inserted into the bottom of the first bush to then be coupled, and the bolt is engaged with the coupling groove by passing through an assembly hole that is formed in the chassis and by passing the through hole.
RACK BAR SUPPORTING DEVICE OF STEERING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
The present disclosure provides a rack bar supporting device of a steering apparatus for a vehicle. The rack bar supporting device includes: a support yoke to support a rack bar; a first cam member configured to have a front surface supporting the support yoke toward the rack bar and to have a rear surface provided with a first cam surface inclined in a circumferential direction thereof; a second cam member configured to have a front surface provided with a second cam surface inclined in a circumferential direction thereof to correspond to the first cam surface, to have a rear surface to which one end of a torsion spring is supported and coupled; a yoke plug; and an elastic pin.
Vehicles and vehicle systems for restricting rotation of a vehicle steering system
Vehicles and vehicle systems for restricting rotation of vehicle steering systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a vehicle including a front wheel, a steering column assembly coupled to the front wheel, a steering wheel coupled to the steering column assembly, a steering rack assembly that includes a rack coupled to the front wheel, where the rack extends in a vehicle lateral direction and is translatable with respect to a body of the vehicle in the vehicle lateral direction, and a resistance device including a damper coupled to at least one of the steering rack assembly and the steering column assembly that limits a rotation of the steering column assembly.
DAMPING COUPLER OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS
Disclosed herein is a damping coupler of an electronic steering apparatus. The damping coupler includes a first spline having a first shaft hole such that a worm shaft is inserted therein, with a first serration being formed in the first shaft hole to engage with a serration of the worm shaft; a second spline coupled to a side of the first spline, and having a second shaft hole such that the worm shaft is inserted therein, with a second serration being formed in the second shaft hole to engage with a serration of the worm shaft; and a molding surrounding outsides of the first and second splines, and coupled to a motor shaft.
