Component Identification

The variable steering gear ratio is achieved by the effective diameter 1 and 2 which result from the shape and angles of the teeth.

The toothed rack is designed indirect in the center area (X). The rack-and-pinion steering is increasingly more direct in the outer areas (Y).

Component Identification

The difference between the gear ratio in the center area (X) and the gear ratio in the outer area (Y) is approx. 30%.
