Steering gear is the part of an automobile that change circular movement of steering wheel to lateral movement of rack to change driving direction. This can be classified with manual and power steering gear. Manual steering gear is operated only with human power while power steering gear use oil pressure support. These days power steering gear is more common to almost of the car. Recently a korean company manufactures a speed sensitive power steering which provide variable steering feel depend on the speed of car. The Broens company of Australia produces and exports the test equipments for the manufacture of power steering valves and assemblies to major vehicle manufactures. Some korean companies imported the test equipments from Australia, thus increasing the cost. The purpose of this study is development of the valve balance test equipment to measure the valve torque of the power steering gear. This study designed and manufactured the valve balance test equipment to take hold of the power steering valve using CAE analysis. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed valve balance test equipment, the R&R tests have been conducted.

This paper describes an Electronically-controlled Power Steering system which is developed by the modification of a conventional power steering based on so called rotary valve technology. The steering effort is influenced by the electrohydraulic flow rate control of the pressurized oil to rotary valve. The vehicle speed and the steering angular velocity are used to calculate and output a signal to proportional flow rate control valve by the Electronic Control Unit. The improvement of the steering feel was satisfactory compared with that of the original conventional power steering.

Power steering systems play an important role for the vehicle handling characteristics and driver's steering center feeling during straightforward driving situation. In this paper, the rotary valve, the main component of power steering systems, is modeled and analyzed, and is combined with a 3-DOF(degree of freedom) lateral dynamics model of passenger cars to examine the effects of design parameters on the vehicle steering characteristics. The results can be applied to the development of advanced power steering systems for passenger cars such as electronically-con-trolled power steering system.

The loader of this study is an agriculture machine for a stock farmer. We has much researched about power train and steering system in order to develop a new stock machine. So, the loader developed in this study has a 4 wheel driving system and a 4-type wheel steering system. Though the technological region is some large and general, these technologies are very important and their technical life may be very long. The power train of the loader is consisted of many units as follows, engine, clutch, transmission, and axles. And, the 4-type wheel steering system is consisted of oil tank, oil pump, steering valve, solenold valve, electronic controller, hydraulic cylinders, and touch sensors. This study shows construction logics of power train and steering system. We could know from many working tests that the developed loader with 4-type steeling system has many advantages when driving in a narrow corral.

In this research, a power-assisted steering system is modeled as a part of a full vehicle dynamic model. The dynamic model of the steering system incorporates hydraulic and dynamic relations between major parts of a steering system, such as steering column, control valve, rack and pinion gear. Through an experimental setup of the steering system, the steering system model is validated. The steering model is included in a full vehicle dynamic model of a car, where kinematic relations between steering and suspension system are defined, and various simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of steering system in conjunction with overall dynamic performance of the vehicle.

The proportional pressure control valve having versatile functions and higher performance is an essential conponent in the open loop controlled rear wheel steering gear of the four wheel steering system in a passenger car. In this study, the authors suggest a new type of load pressure feedback mechanism which can make it easy to change the range of controlled pressure without changing the capacity of solenoid. The concept of suggested mechanism, composed of the pressure chamber with throttles in series, was described. The mathematical model was derived from the rear wheel steering gear consisting of a valve and a cylinder for the purpose of analyzing the valve characteristics. And the programme for computing the characteristic of the valve was developed. Experiments were performed to confirm the performance of the valve and computations were carried out to ascertain the usefulness of the developed programme. The results from computations fairly coincide with those from experiments. And the results from experiments and computations show that the performance of new valve was as good as that of the already developed one and the new valve has advantages such as the easiness of changing the range of controlled pressure and the decrease of power loss at neutral position without the decline of performance.

본 연구는 자동 조향 트랙터용 비례제어밸브의 국산화를 위한 기초연구로써 다양한 트랙터 조향 조건에 따른 조향 비례제어밸브 동특성 계측 및 분석을 위해 수행되었다. 동특성 데이터는 유량 및 압력 계측 시스템을 통해 수집되었으며, 수집된 유량 및 압력 데이터를 이용하여 동력을 분석하였다. 실험 조건은 트랙터 엔진 회전속도와 조향각을 주요 변수로 선정하였으며, 실험은 우레탄 노면 조건에서 수행되었다. 그 결과, 트랙터 엔진 회전속도 및 조향각이 증가함에 따라 비례제어밸브 유량, 압력, 동력이 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 동일한 엔진회전속도에서 조향각이 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 190%, 172%, 273% 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 동일한 조향각에서 엔진회전속도가 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 161%, 122%, 168% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통해, 조향각이 엔진 회전속도보다 비례제어밸브의 동특성에 더 높은 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

Ball k nut type steering gear box has disadvantages on on-center range as compared with rack & pinion type because of many linkages. In this study, a technique which can improve the on-center loose feel is introduced. The improvement can be obtained by putting simple devices on steering gear box valve body which can change the stiffness of steering gear on on-center handling range. Analysis and test of the vehicle with improved steering system are performed.
