Estimating the term…
A steering assist system which transmits the rotation of an electric motor to a steering shaft via a worm shaft and a worm wheel meshed with a worm of the worm shaft, where an output shaft of the electric motor and the worm shaft are interconnected via a joint. The joint includes a cylindrical first transmission member mounted on the output shaft, a cylindrical second transmission member to which the worm shaft is mounted, and a cylindrical elastic body interposed between the first and second transmission members. The joint may further include a torque limiter including a spring which is interposed between an end surface of the second transmission member and a spring seat formed at an end surface of a third transmission member in opposed relation with the end surface of the second transmission member for inhibiting relative rotation between the second and third transmission members.
A joint for integrally rotatably connecting a rotating shaft to an output shaft of an electric motor comprising:
A steering assist system for providing steering assist by transmitting the rotation of an electric motor to a steering shaft via a worm shaft, as a rotating shaft formed with a worm, and a worm wheel meshed with the worm of the worm shaft,
A steering assist system for providing steering assist by transmitting the rotation of an electric motor to a steering shaft via a worm shaft, as a rotating shaft formed with a worm, and a worm wheel meshed with the worm of the worm shaft,
A steering assist system for providing steering assist by transmitting the rotation of an electric motor to a steering shaft via a worm shaft, as a rotating shaft formed with a worm, and a worm wheel meshed with the worm of the worm shaft,
