Our steering racks are engineered to meet rigorous OEM standards, ensuring exceptional durability and precise control for a wide range of vehicles. Crafted from high-strength steel or lightweight aluminum, these components are designed to deliver smooth, responsive handling while minimizing steering effort and vibration. Key features include corrosion-resistant coatings for extended lifespan, precision-geared teeth for minimal play, and compatibility with both hydraulic and electric power steering systems (EPS).
With global demand for steering systems growing (e.g., steering racks show 60% market scarcity in regions like Russia), our products address critical needs for reliability and performance. Tests validate 500,000+ cycles of operational durability, exceeding industry benchmarks for safety and longevity. Ideal for passenger and commercial vehicles, our racks ensure seamless integration and are trusted by professionals worldwide for their robust construction and consistent performance.
Our steering racks integrate advanced Rack-Electric Power Steering (R-EPS) technology, delivering 16KN maximum thrust via precision ball-screw mechanisms and belt drives. This ensures smooth and responsive handling across diverse driving conditions, with torque sensitivity optimized for minimal steering effort. Compatible with 12V/24V/48V systems, our products support redundant designs (ASIL-D ISO 26262 certified) for fail-safe operation. The modular architecture allows 30% higher power transmission efficiency compared to hydraulic systems, reducing energy consumption by up to 15%.
Engineered with high-strength steel alloys and corrosion-resistant coatings, our steering racks undergo 500,000+ cycle endurance tests exceeding OEM benchmarks. The integrated powerpack design minimizes mechanical friction points, extending lifespan by 40% under extreme road conditions. Finite element analysis (FEA) validates structural resilience against impact forces, while NVH optimization algorithms ensure noise levels below 65 dB during operation.
Featuring a full-cylindrical integrated powerpack, our steering racks achieve 20% smaller packaging volume versus conventional designs. This compact layout simplifies installation in electric and hybrid vehicles while freeing engine bay space for battery systems. The lightweight H-frame construction (29.5% weight reduction proven via simulation) enhances vehicle energy efficiency without compromising strength.
Designed for L2+ autonomous driving, our racks support steer-by-wire readiness and OTA updates for adaptive torque mapping. Redundant sensors and dual ECU architectures enable real-time steering compensation (e.g., pull-drift correction, end-stop damping) with ≤0.1s response latency. Compatibility with LKA/APA/RCS functionalities ensures seamless integration with ADAS platforms.
All products adhere to EN 14363 safety and EN 12299 comfort standards, with 90 million+ EPS systems deployed globally. Our manufacturing processes leverage IATF 16949-certified facilities, while 200+ vehicle applications across 60+ countries demonstrate field reliability. Each unit undergoes end-of-line calibration for precise force feedback matching OEM specifications.

Here are specific application scenarios of steering rack:
For optimal performance, always pre-inspect the steering rack mounting points and ensure alignment within ±0.5mm tolerance. Use torque wrenches (20-30 Nm for tie-rod nuts) to avoid over-tightening. Post-installation, perform a zero-point calibration via diagnostic tools to ensure sensor accuracy. Test steering responsiveness at low speeds first, validating smooth operation under 2.5 Nm torque. Regular checks for leaks and boot integrity are recommended every 30,000 km.
