What is the function of the steering gear?
1 Answers
The function of the steering gear is to appropriately transform the steering torque and steering angle from the steering wheel (mainly by reducing speed and increasing torque) and then output it to the steering linkage mechanism, thereby enabling the vehicle to turn. The following is a detailed introduction to the automotive power steering system: 1. Function: It uses the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as the power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine required by hydraulic power steering systems, saving energy and protecting the environment. 2. Composition: The automotive power steering system can improve vehicle stability. When the vehicle shows signs of instability, the electronic power steering system can independently brake each wheel and participate in the engine system management to ensure driving safety. The automotive power steering system mainly consists of a vehicle speed sensor, reduction mechanism, torque sensor, electric motor, and electronic control unit.
