    Abstract: Provided is a steering system capable of enhancing traveling stability when a vehicle drives straight and improving small-turn performance. The steering system includes: a first steering device; a second steering device including a mechanical section configured to individually steer each of left and right wheels by driving a steering actuator and a control section configured to control the steering actuator; and a vehicle information detection section configured to detect a velocity of the vehicle and a steering angle. The control section includes a turning angle control module configured to control the steering actuator pursuant to a predetermined rule in accordance with the velocity of the vehicle and the steering angle so as to control turning angles of the left and right wheels.

    Abstract: A link actuating device includes input side and output side link hubs, and two sets of link mechanisms. Each of the link mechanisms is a three-link-chain link mechanism including four revolute pairs, and includes input side and output side end links rotatably connected to the input side and output side link hubs and an intermediate links rotatably connected to input side and output side end links. The link mechanism have a positional relationship in which the revolute pair axes between the link hubs and the end links are located on the same plane and cross each other. At least one of the two sets of link mechanisms is provided with interlocking unit that interlocks the input side end link and the output side end link to each other so as to be rotationally displaced.

    Abstract: The steering function-equipped hub unit includes: a turning shaft-equipped hub bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, and rolling elements in double rows interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, the turning shaft-equipped hub bearing having a turning shaft extending in a vertical direction; a unit support member rotatably supporting the turning shaft-equipped hub bearing (15) about a turning axis of the turning shaft; and a steering actuator configured to rotationally drive the turning shaft-equipped hub bearing about the turning axis (A). The unit support member and the steering actuator include a flange and an end portion, respectively, to be removably fixed to a knuckle which is a chassis frame component of a vehicle.

    Abstract: The retainer is provided so as to be prevented from being rotatable with respect to the rotary shaft, and rotation of the input-side rotary member is reduced in speed and transmitted to the output-side rotary member through intermediation of the balls which engage with both of the ball engagement grooves. A raceway center line of the second ball engagement groove is formed of a wave-shaped curve. When a speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer is represented by “i”, the wave-shaped curve has such a shape that the balls which engage with the first ball engagement groove engage with the second ball engagement groove at a given rotation angle (θ) of the input-side rotary member in a state in which the output-side rotary member is at a rotation angle (iθ).

    Abstract: An in-wheel motor drive device is provided including a brake caliper which can be easily mounted in position and dismounted. The in-wheel motor drive device includes a hub to which the wheel body of a vehicle wheel is mounted, an electric motor arranged inside of the hub in the width direction of the vehicle so as to be coaxial with the hub, a motor housing in which are received the electric motor, and the brake caliper, which is arranged to clamp a brake disk through a pair of brake pads disposed on both sides of the brake disk. The brake caliper is fixed to the outer periphery of the motor housing by driving bolts radially inwardly, from radially outside, of the motor housing.

    Abstract: Provided is a turning function-equipped having a reduced size and having improved strength to an external shock force and improved reliability. The turning function-equipped hub unit includes: a hub unit main body; a unit support member; and a turning actuator. The unit support member is provided to a chassis frame component. The unit support member includes an abutment part with which a part of the hub unit main body is brought into abutment in a vertical direction during non-normal time, the abutment part being separated from the hub unit main body in the vertical direction during normal time, and the non-normal time in which the abutment is caused, is a time when an impact load equal to or greater than a predetermined value acts on the hub unit main body in the vertical direction due to an external force from the wheel.
