摘要: A vehicle steering system includes a rack shaft, a pinion shaft, a housing including a rack shaft receiving portion and a pinion shaft receiving portion, and a cover member disposed above the pinion shaft receiving portion. A part of the pinion shaft projects upward from an upper end opening of the pinion shaft receiving portion. The cover member includes a hood portion and an annular side wall portion. The pinion shaft is inserted through the hood portion. The side wall portion includes a valve portion capable of coming into abutment with an outer circumferential surface of the pinion shaft receiving portion.

摘要: A method for rack force effort-based damping includes: receiving a handwheel velocity signal associated with rotational motion of a handwheel of a vehicle; determining a vehicle speed; identifying, in a rack force look-up table, a rack force value based on the handwheel velocity signal and the vehicle speed; generating a modified rack force signal by adding the rack force value to a rack force signal; identifying, in an effort look-up table, an effort value based on the modified rack force signal; and selectively controlling at least one aspect of a steering system based on the effort value.

摘要: A position detection device for detecting a position of a moving member moving forward and backward in a predetermined moving direction is provided with a detection object attached to the moving member, a substrate provided with an excitation coil for generating a magnetic field in an area including the detection object and a detection coil being interlinked with a magnetic flux of the magnetic field, a power supply unit for supplying an alternating current to the excitation coil, and a calculation unit that calculates the position of the moving member based on an output voltage of the detection coil. The detection coil is shaped as a combination of a pair of curved portions that are symmetrical across a symmetry axis parallel to the moving direction of the moving member. Each of the curved portions is shaped as a sinusoidal fundamental wave component superimposed with a harmonic component of a third or higher order multiplied by each of coefficients corresponding to the order. The coefficients are adjusted in such a manner that a peak value of a voltage induced in the detection coil changes sinusoidally when the detection object moves at a constant speed relative to the substrate while facing a part of the substrate.

摘要: A vehicular steering device includes a turning shaft, a housing storing therein the turning shaft, a stopper provided at a shaft end of the turning shaft, and an annular elastic body. An opening of the housing is formed in a U-shaped cross-sectional shape and in an annular shape opened toward the stopper by an external cylinder portion and an internal cylinder portion. The elastic body includes a first elastic portion and a second elastic portion. The first elastic portion is supported by an inner circumferential surface of the external cylinder portion and the bottom surface, and is provided with a first clearance from an outer circumferential surface of the internal cylinder portion. The second elastic portion extends toward the stopper from the first elastic portion, and is provided with a second clearance larger than the first clearance from the inner circumferential surface of the external cylinder portion.

摘要: A steering rack support assembly with a support shaft and a sleeve. The support shaft has a first end, a second end, and at least two mounting members. The cross section of the support shaft may be substantially the same along the length of the support shaft. A first of the at least two mounting members may be affixed to the first end of the support shaft, while a second of the at least two mounting members may be affixed to the second end. Each of the at least two mounting members may be configured to couple to the frame of the vehicle. The sleeve is disposed around an outer surface of the support shaft and is slidably coupled to the support shaft. A bracket affixed to the sleeve may be configured to couple to a rack and pinion assembly, a first tie rod, and a second tie rod.
