The electric booster monitors all control actions on the steering and increases the torque transmitted through the steering wheel according to a certain algorithm specially selected for a given vehicle, depending on the speed.
Pic. 1. Steering gear: 1 - shaft gear of the steering mechanism; 2 - steering shaft position sensor; 3 - amplifier motor; 4 - amplifier reducer; 5, 9 - protective covers of steering rods; 6 – right support of the mechanism; 7 - crankcase of the steering mechanism; 8 - left mechanism support
Steering gear (pic. 1) installed in the engine compartment and bolted to the front suspension subframe.
Pic. 2. Tie rod: 1 – a tip of the right steering draft; 2 – steering draft; 3 - protective cover
The steering gear consists of two steering rods 2 (pic. 2), connected by ball joints of the tips 1 with the levers of the steering knuckles of the front suspension.
Pic. 3. Steering column: 1, 3 - cardan joints of the intermediate shaft; 2 - intermediate shaft; 4 – a shaft of a steering column; 5 – the case of a steering column; 6 - mechanism for adjusting the position of the steering column; 7 - switch (lock) ignition
Steering column (pic. 3) safety, with a mechanism 6 for adjusting the position of the steering wheel, equipped with energy-absorbing devices that increase passive safety, and an anti-theft device in the ignition lock 7 that blocks the steering wheel shaft from turning.
Attention! The steering mechanism is the most important element in ensuring traffic safety. Low-quality repair of the mechanism can lead to serious consequences, therefore, if necessary, repair it only in a specialized service or replace it with a new one.
