Abstract:
A rack guide (20) is movably housed in a housing hole (31) of a housing (30). A plug (40) is screwed to an outer opening end portion (32) of the housing hole (31). An urging member (60) is interposed between the rack guide (50) and the plug (40). External threads (44) on the outer peripheral surface of the plug (40) are screwed to internal threads (33) at the outer opening end portion (32) of the housing hole (31). The root portion (82) of the external threads (44) includes an interference portion () that interferes with a crest portion (91) of the internal threads (33) .
Abstract:
A wear compensator assembly (40) configured for exerting a predetermined biasing force on a rack (22) and a pinion shaft (20) of a steering gear assembly (10) is disclosed. The wear compensator assembly includes a cam member (52) having a seating surface (82) and a biasing member (50) seated against the seating surface of the cam member. The biasing member is configured to be compressed by a predetermined amount and to exert the predetermined biasing force.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne un système de poussoir (1) pour mécanisme de direction comprenant une crémaillère (3) de direction sur laquelle engrène au moins un pignon d'entraînement, ledit système de poussoir (1) comprenant un poussoir (13) qui est monté mobile au sein d'un carter de poussoir et qui est placé sous la contrainte d'un ressort de rappel (15), de manière à ce que ledit poussoir (13) vienne exercer sur la crémaillère (3), sous l'action dudit ressort de rappel (15), un effort de poussée (F13) qui presse ladite crémaillère (3) contre le pignon d'entraînement, ledit système de poussoir (1) étant caractérisé en ce que le ressort de rappel (15) est au moins en partie noyé dans un bloc amortisseur (20) en matériau élastomère.
Abstract:
A rack shaft supporting device (40) includes a support yoke (50), a plug (60), an intermediate component (70), a torque generation spring (100), and rolling elements (80). The plug (60) has a plug end portion (65) and plug cam faces (65A) formed in the plug end portion (65). The intermediate component (70) is arranged between the plug (60) and the support yoke (50) in a state where the intermediate component (70) is rotatable relative to the rack housing (21) and movable relative to the rack housing (21) in a pushing direction. The intermediate component (70) has an intermediate opposed portion (72) opposed to the plug end portion (65) and intermediate cam faces (72A) opposed to the plug cam faces (65A). The rolling elements (80) are arranged between the plug cam faces (65A) and the intermediate cam faces (72A), and make contact with each of the plug cam faces (65A) and the intermediate cam faces (72A).
Abstract:
A rack shaft supporting device (15) includes a support yoke (24), a plug (25) that closes the other opening (23) of an accommodation chamber (20), a ball screw mechanism (26) between the support yoke (24) and the plug (25), and a torsion urging member (27) between the ball screw mechanism (26) and the plug (25). The ball screw mechanism (26) includes: a first threaded portion (31) in which a first thread groove (31 B) is formed; a second threaded portion (32) in which a second thread groove (32G) is formed; and balls (33) arranged in a rolling path (34) formed of the first thread groove (31 B) and the second thread groove (32G). The torsion urging member (27) rotates the second threaded portion (32) relative to the plug (25) and moves the second threaded portion (32) toward the support yoke (24).
