A mechanical device that converts rotational steering wheel input into linear motion to control vehicle wheel direction.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Steering Gearbox
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rated Torque | 15–60 N·m | Determines steering force capability |
| Steering Ratio | 15–20 :1 | Affects steering response and effort |
| Input Shaft Diameter | 20–30 mm | Must match steering column coupling |
| Output Shaft Diameter | 25–35 mm | Must match pitman arm or tie rod |
| Operating Temperature | -40–85 °C | Seal and lubricant limits |
| Backlash | 0.05–0.15 mm | Affects steering precision and noise |
| Efficiency | 70–85 % | Lower efficiency increases steering effort |
| Weight | 8–15 kg | Affects vehicle weight distribution |
| Housing Material | Aluminum | Aluminum for weight reduction; cast iron for durability |
| Seal Material | NBR | NBR for oil resistance; FKM for high temperature |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
It converts rotational input from the steering wheel into linear motion to turn the vehicle's wheels, providing mechanical advantage to reduce driver effort.
Key parameters include rated torque, steering ratio, input/output shaft diameters, operating temperature, operating pressure, backlash, efficiency, and weight. These must match the vehicle's requirements.
Housings are often cast iron or aluminum; internal gears and shafts are alloy steel; bushings or bearings may be bronze. Seal materials include NBR or FKM.
Unusual noise, excessive play (backlash), or fluid leaks may indicate wear or seal failure. Any loss of steering control is a critical failure requiring immediate replacement.
