Pressure yoke for a rack and pinion steering gear of a motor vehicle

摘要

The pusher (5) has a shoe (7) forming a friction surface applied to the steering rack, and a molded thermoplastic body (6) with one or more thrust surfaces for the shoe and retaining elements (18) to hold the shoe in place. The shoe is in the form of a concave strip with parallel lengthwise edges and the thrust surfaces are on a body reinforcing element under the shoe. - The pusher (5) has a shoe (7) forming a friction surface applied to the steering rack, and a molded thermoplastic body (6) with one or more thrust surfaces for the shoe and retaining elements (18) to hold the shoe in place. The shoe is in the form of a concave strip with parallel lengthwise edges and the thrust surfaces are on a body reinforcing element under the shoe. The shoe can be made from expanded metal and plastic and its retaining elements are in the form of studs with heads flattened e.g. by a riveting or ultrasound tool.
