What is the Principle of the Steering Gear?
1 Answers
There are two scenarios for the working principle of the steering gear: When the car is driving straight: When the car is driving straight, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflow from the steering oil pump to the oil tank, putting the steering oil pump in an unloading state. The steering gear consists of gears and racks, and its types include rack and pinion, worm and roller, and recirculating ball. When the car turns right: When the car needs to turn right, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflow from the steering oil pump to the R chamber and connects the L chamber to the oil tank, causing the left and right wheels to deflect to the right through the transmission mechanism to achieve a right turn. The function of the steering gear is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering arm and to change the direction of force transmission.
