Power steering-gear permitting separate mechanical and hydraulic balancing.

摘要

A power steering-gear (10) with a hydraulic valve (32) and a detent mechanism (34) allows simultaneous hydraulic and mechanical balancing. The hydraulic valve (32) is rotatively separate from the detent mechanism (34) to allow separate balancing. The hydraulic valve (32) is integral with an input member (22). The detent mechanism (34) is integral with a tubular stub shaft (36) which is concentric with, but rotatively independent of, the input member (22). The tubular stub shaft (36) and the input member (22) are rotatively fixed to each other when both the hydraulic valve (32) and the detent mechanism (34) are balanced. <IMAGE>
