Radial self-adjusting device for motor vehicle steering rack gear has elastic element mounted on gear, with gear pushed back against internal wall of casing accommodating gear with force greater than that to slide rack on gear

摘要

The device includes an elastic element (11) mounted on the gear (5) and acting on the periphery (9) of the gear, along an axis (D) parallel to the longitudinal sliding axis (C) of the steering rack (4). The gear is pushed back so as to be applied against a cylindrical internal wall (2b) of casing (2a) accommodating the gear, with a force (F) greater than the effort necessary to slide the steering rack on the gear.
