DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING A PINION LINE IN A RACK-AND-GEAR STEERING CRANKCASE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The inventive device simplifies assembling of a pinion line and comprises the tubular part (2b) of a crankcase (2) which coaxially surrounds a steering pinion (3) and the shaft (8) thereof, an end bearing (9) and a rolling bearing (10) for rotationally assembling the pinion (3). A sealing element arranged towards the output of the shaft (8) consists of a rigid armouring (11) which supports an elastically deformable ring (12). A permanently deformable piece (14) is mounted on the tubular part (2b) and is deformed thereinside through openings (13a) for axially stopping the armouring (11) of the sealing which is embodied in such a way that it holds the rolling (10) in place.
