STEERING SYSTEM

STEERING LINKAGE SYSTEM (Rigid Axle System)

FUNCTIONS OF STEERING GEARBOX (SGB)

To convert the turning motion of the driver into to and fro motion of the link

To ease the effort to be exerted by the driver for the steering of the vehicle

To have an exact wheel locking position to reduce the chances of overturning of the vehicle at high speeds

TYPES OF SGB

Worm and worm wheel type Worm and sector Worm and double roller Worm and nut Recirculating ball Rack and pinion

WORM AND WORM WHEEL

WORM AND WORM WHEEL (contd…)

WORM AND SECTOR

WORM AND ROLLER

RECIRCULATING BALL TYPE

WORM AND NUT

It is the primitive of recirculating ball type steering gearbox

It doesn’t have the recirculating ball and the system works like and nut and bolt system

RACK AND PINION

Rack and pinion is the simplest and most widely used Steering Gearboxes in a vehicle.

It is employed in almost all the LMVs and even steering operated Three Wheelers
