The detection portion is displaced in a direction in which the cylinder rod extends or contracts, and is detected by a detection sensor disposed on the beam axle.

An actuator (1) for a rear axle steering system of a vehicle includes a thrust rod (2) which is longitudinally displaceable within a housing (3). The thrust rod (2) has a rotation lock (4) having a guide element (5) which is guided in the axial direction in a single-part or multi-part slide rail (6) arranged on the housing (3). An elastomer ring (7) is arranged between the slide rail (6) and the housing (3).

The present disclosure relates to a steering control apparatus and method of the steer-by-wire system including a sensing information collector for collecting at least one of sensing information on a steering or sensing information on a rack, a motor operation determiner for determining a start of a motor limiting mode for a reaction force motor and an end of the motor limiting mode for the reaction force motor which provides a reaction torque to a steering wheel based on the collected sensing information, a control signal generator for generating a control signal corresponding to the start of the motor limiting mode or the end of the motor limiting mode based on the determined result, and a control signal output for outputting the generated control signal to the reaction force motor.

An alignment tool for a work vehicle includes: an axle housing connecting portion having a housing mating feature configured to mount to a respective mating feature of an axle housing; and a steering knuckle connecting portion coupled with the axle housing connecting portion and having a knuckle mating feature configured to mount to a respective mating feature of a steering knuckle, the steering knuckle connecting portion being coupled to the axle housing connecting portion and angled with respect to the axle housing connecting portion such that the housing mating feature is mountable to the mating feature of the axle housing and the knuckle mating feature is mountable to the mating feature of the steering knuckle only when the steering knuckle is at a fully steered position.

A method for detecting a malfunction in a hydraulic-assisted steering system for a vehicle includes: measuring a steering torque; determining the steering torque exceeding a threshold torque for a predetermined length of time; and generating a malfunction signal in response to the determining the steering torque exceeding the threshold torque for the predetermined length of time. A system for detecting a malfunction in a hydraulic-assisted steering system for a vehicle includes a torque sensor configured to measure a steering torque, and a controller configured to: determine the steering torque exceeding a threshold torque for a predetermined length of time; and generate a malfunction signal in response to determining the steering torque exceeding the threshold torque for the predetermined length of time.

An actuator of a steering system of a motor vehicle, having a connecting rod which is longitudinally movable in a housing along an actuating path between axial stops and which penetrates the housing and is connectable at one end to a toe link for the articulation of wheels, the stops of which are arranged axially one behind the other and face each other axially. The stops and a stopper interacting with the two stops are located inside the housing.

A steering device for a vehicle, having a rack which is mounted so as to be displaceable in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the rack, having a pinion, wherein the rack meshes with the pinion, having a pressing mechanism, wherein the rack is pressed against the pinion by the pressing mechanism, and having a sensor mechanism. The sensor mechanism is designed at least for measuring a compressive force. To detect or measure a rack force of the rack reliably and/or easily, the steering device is characterized in that a compressive force component directed radially to the longitudinal axis of the rack can be detected or measured by the sensor mechanism.
