STEERING UNIT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MANUAL STEERING UNIT

The steering gear is mainly comprised of the sector gear and the worm nut assembly.
There are many recirculating balls installed to the ball groove (way) between the worm nut and the steering worm
shaft.
The steering gear's high mechanical efficiency provides very light steering.
Racks machined into the worm nut side face engage the fan shaped sector gear to transfer the steering wheel
applied torque to the pitman arm.
