Multi-Axis Damper for Steering Rack Bar - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876730 titled 'Multi-Axis Damper for Steering Rack Bar
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a multi-strata radial damper designed to dampen forces between a rack bar and a bushing sleeve in an automobile. The damper includes a layer made of polymer material and can also dampen forces in an axial direction between the tie rod and the bushing sleeve.
- The patent application is for a multi-strata radial damper used in automobiles.
- The damper is designed to dampen forces exerted in a radial direction between a rack bar and a bushing sleeve.
- The damper includes a layer made of polymer material.
- Additionally, the damper can dampen forces exerted in an axial direction between the tie rod and the bushing sleeve.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry: The multi-strata radial damper can be used in various types of automobiles to dampen forces between the rack bar and the bushing sleeve, improving overall vehicle performance and stability.
Problems Solved
- Dampening forces: The damper solves the problem of excessive forces exerted in both radial and axial directions between the rack bar, tie rod, and bushing sleeve, reducing vibrations and improving the overall driving experience.
Benefits
- Improved vehicle performance: By dampening forces in both radial and axial directions, the damper enhances vehicle stability, handling, and control.
- Reduced vibrations: The damper helps minimize vibrations caused by forces exerted between the rack bar, tie rod, and bushing sleeve, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride.
- Enhanced durability: The use of a polymer material in the damper increases its longevity and resistance to wear and tear, improving the overall lifespan of the automobile component.
Original Abstract Submitted
A multi-strata radial damper configured to dampen forces exerted in a radial direction between a rack bar of an automobile and a bushing sleeve protecting the rack bar. The radial damper may include a stratum made of a polymer material. The radial damper may additionally dampen forces exerted in an axial direction between the tie rod and the bushing sleeve.
