the pinion gear at the rate of one
rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total
pinion torque. Standard
value:
Total rotational torque: 0.6
- 1.3 N·m Torque fluctuation: 0.5
N·m or less
note |
When measuring, remove the
bellows from the rack housing. Measure the
pinion torque through
the whole stroke of the rack.
