Advantages of SGF Tube-in-Tube for steering system
» | High steering convenience realisable due to very good decoupling performance in all directions. |
» | Simplified logistics due to reduced number of components. |
» | Smaller diameter compared to flexible coupling. |
» | Maintenance-free for life; protection of downstream components due to limitation of torque peaks. |
Features
» | Installed in combination with a cardan joint, no limitation with steering spindle running. |
» | Reduces and isolates vibrations and structure-borne noise over a wide range due to the interruption of the noise paths in the drive train. |
» | Fine tuning to customer requests possible at any time without change in design. |
» | Minimises wear of adjacent components by elimination of torque peaks. |
» | Maintenance-free for lifetime of vehicle. |
» | Compensates for axial displacements (to approx. 1 mm) and mounting tolerances. |
Functions
» | The special configuration of rubber elements in the component produces special characteristics. |
» | Strong radial pretensioning shifts the load area completely into the pressure area. => Lifetime-enhancement |
» | Load-dependent cross-section surface (small with zero crossing, high with increased loads) solves goal conflict of decoupling and lifetime. => Lifetime-enhancement |
» | The pressure-based design means that, in contrast to a thrust-based design, the axial decoupling capacity is increased by a factor of 3. |
