Steering System [Rack & Pinion]

In this video we will show an engineering application most people interact with on daily bases, the “Steering wheel of a car” and how the rack & pinion gear mechanism enables the steering wheel to control the direction of a vehicle.
If you are interested to learn more about other type of gears and how they function in other engineering application, please check out our channel ‪@CAEPlus‬ for the full video for “Basics of Gears”.

Glad it was useful for your project. Thanks for your comment, as well.

[@SupremeER]

Good luck

[@everistusolumese9350]

This is why I am watching too. I want to build a camping vehicle.

[@kapbmleng4031]

I am greatly inspired, for I am too a mechanical engineering student, this gear profile has given actually arouse the appetite to design something wondrous, and has given me more options and a start point, its insightful

[@CAEPlus]

That's wonderful to hear! It's always inspiring to connect with fellow mechanical engineering enthusiasts. If you ever need insights, resources, or simply want to discuss ideas, don't hesitate to reach out.

Oh my, I want to start a car company when I grow up because of how I find cars so interesting. I thought the steering system is so complex but with your explanation, it made so much sense! Thank you :)

[@Rob.N.]

Easy and concise. Thanks.

Keep in mind you may have a different (hydraulic) rack and pinion system in your vehicle. Not all cars are this way.

[@CAEPlus]

Correct, this animation covers the general type of rack and pinion that most cars use. However, as you mentioned there are few other design variations.

How is there little to no friction thought?
