ABSTRACT:
A center take of power assisted steering arrangement comprises a rack and pinion in which the rack is constrained radially in a pressure fluid cylinder at two positions and has a floating piston at one end. One constraint comprises a bearing disposed at the point where rack and pinion mesh. With this arrangement meshing of the rack and pinion is not dependent on rack stiffness, manufacturing tolerances are compensated for and the effects of service loads are minimized, while allowing equal area pistons at opposite end of the cylinder.
