Purpose The primary purpose of a vehicle steering system is to control the direction of the vehicle's movement. It allows the driver to turn the vehicle left or right , thereby enabling it to follow a desired path. The steering system also provides feedback to the driver, allowing them to sense the vehicle's handling characteristics, such as stability and response to driver inputs.
Background The concept of steering a vehicle can be traced back to the invention of the wheel itself . The first wheeled vehicles were simple carts, which were steered by dragging them in the desired direction. As technology evolved, steering systems became more sophisticated.
Introduction Steering is a crucial component of any vehicle as it enables the driver to navigate the vehicle through different road conditions and environments. Over time, the steering system has evolved to become more efficient and reliable, with modern systems featuring advanced technologies such as electric power steering and adaptive steering.
To control the direction of the vehicle's movement. To provide stability to the vehicle . To ensure the safety of the passengers and other road users . To allow for precise and responsive steering inputs . To provide ease of handling and comfort to the driver. To enhance the overall driving experience. To enable autonomous driving capabilities . Objectives
Types of Steering system 4-Wheel Steering System It is a type of steering system that allows all Four-wheels of a vehicle to turn independently. This type of system can provide several benefits, including improved handling, stability, and movability. Power Steering System It is a type of steering system that helps the driver in turning the wheels by using hydraulic or electric power to reduce the effort needed to steer the vehicle.
Types of Steering Mechanism Rack and Pinion Steering This is one of the most dominant steering system designs found in modern automobiles. It converts the revolving the steering wheel's motion into linear motion of the wheels using a rack and pinion gear system. Recirculating Ball Steering In this worm gear and sector gear is used to transfer the force of the steering to the wheels.
Advantages Allows the driver to easily control the direction of the vehicle. Enables the vehicle to smoothly and accurately navigate turns. Enhances the overall safety and stability of the vehicle. Provides better handling and maneuverability in different driving conditions. Improves the comfort and ease of driving experience.
