VARIATION OF FEEL as a function of the speed of the vehicle
The variation in feel is obtained by a variable mechanical force being applied to control shaft A
1~ STRAIGHT-AHEAD 1) POSITION
Contact point
STEERING TO LEFT OR RIGHT
Towards
a)
Mechanical principle :
Control shaft A is in mesh with pinion B
Pinion B is in one piece with Cam H against which piston F, through roller G. applies pressure. according to
the following
- Angle of rotation of shaft A ( r,//‘c’cf oj

Pressure of piston F is being exerted in the hollow on cam H, which tends to maintain the steering in the
(( straight-ahead !j position‘
The cam and roller contact point is situated away from the O-O axis; a force is applied against the effort of
the driver,
which therefore increases the feel.
