Variable Ratio Steering Rack

Variable Ratio Steering Rack





The variable ratio rack:
^ Incorporates teeth of varying pitch and angle of contact, giving a variable pitch circle diameter which is a minimum at the center of the rack and a maximum at the ends.
^ Reduces excessive response to on-center steering inputs during motor way driving.
^ Causes the steering action to become progressively more direct as the steering wheel is turned from the center position.
^ Allows a low number of turns of the steering wheel from lock to lock.
