Scope Classification, and Limitations 1.1 Scope This Information Report relates to a sp

5、ecial class of automotive adaptive equipment which consists of modifications to the hydraulic control mechanism of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) power steering systems provided as original equipment on personally licensed vehicles. These modifications are generically called “reduced effort p

6、ower steering“. The purpose of the modification is to lower the amount of driver effort required to operate the steering system. Retention of reliability, ease of use for physically disabled drivers and maintainability are of primary concern. Because this is an Information Report, the numerical valu

7、es for performance measurements presented in this report and in the accompanying Test Procedure, while based upon the best knowledge available at the time, have not been validated by a testing of the Test Procedure. 1.2 Classification Steering modifications are classified as any modification in whic

8、h the feedback torque is reduced. The reduction of feedback considered in this Information Report may be accomplished by: 1. changing the feedback torque device 2. changing the power steering control valve 3. completely replacing the power steering control valve with a fabricated item. 4. eliminatio

9、n of the feedback torque 1.3 Limitations and Inclusions These recommendations are limited to modifications which are designed to utilize an OEM steering wheel, steering column and mechanical/hydraulic steering system for steering control and an unchanged steering gearbox ratio. 1.3.1 This Informatio

10、n Report does include additional auxiliary power systems (henceforth referred to as power steering backup systems) which are installed to provide needed redundancy for backup/emergency operation. SAE J2672 Issued AUG2004 - 2 - 1.3.2 Although other types of auxiliary power systems are possible, this

11、Information Report will deal only with mechanical/hydraulic systems. 1.3.3 Although the recommendations are limited to changes to the power steering box (below the universal joint) and the power steering backup system, the modifications would be tested with an OEM steering column and steering wheel.

12、 1.3.4 Although it is possible to combine other steering wheel and/or steering column modifications with Reduced Effort Power Steering and Power Steering Backup Systems, those modifications will be not be considered as a part of this Information Report. Rationale: “Joystick“ and other type steering

13、systems which supplant the OEM system or a major part of the OEM system are out of scope by language of 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Although other type systems may be available in the future, at this time virtually all steering systems are of the mechanical/hydraulic type. 2. References 2.1 Applicable Docume

27、ffort Power Steering A modification of a power steering system to lower the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle. This term includes both “Low Effort Power Steering System“ and a “Zero Effort Power Steering System“ 3.22 Shall The term to be used whenever the criteria for conformance with t

28、he specific recommendations requires that there be no deviation. (SAE J1159) (Note: Because this is an Information Report which makes recommendations, but is not a standard, the use of the word shall has been replaced by should elsewhere in the report.) 3.23 Should The term to be used whenever non-c

Design Requirements 4.1 Conventional Use of Motor Vehicle All reduced effort power steering and power st

31、eering backup system modifications to which this Information Report applies should be designed to permit the conventional use of the steering wheel by able-bodied drivers. (APPENDIX RTP 3.1) Rationale: Although the wheel may be non-standard and the level of effort considerably less, the conversion d

32、oes not result in directions of movement opposite or dissimilar to (OEM) power assisted steering. SAE J2672 Issued AUG2004 - 6 - 4.2 Mandatory Power Steering Backup System All reduced effort power steering modifications should incorporate into the modification a power steering backup system for redu

33、ced effort power steering operation in case of primary power failure. The backup system should provide the disabled driver with a steering system as resistant to catastrophic failure as the original equipment steering system. The able-bodied driver can retain a measure of vehicle control in the even

34、t of loss of power boost. This use of physical strength is the able-bodied drivers “backup“ system. A disabled driver will not have this capability, since the purpose for the reduced effort steering is to adapt to his inability to use the original equipment powered steering system. Hence the modific

35、ation must include a powered backup system. The recommendations for the backup system are included with the recommendations for the reduced effort power steering because the backup system is mandatory with the reduced effort power steering. Within this document, however, some recommendations pertain

36、ing only to the backup system have been kept separate from the reduced effort power steering because there are occasions where it is appropriate to install only the backup system without the reduced effort power steering. (There are many individuals who do not need reduced effort power steering but

37、who could not steer if the primary system failed.) (APPENDIX RTP 3.3) Rationale: The rationale has been incorporated into the Information Report because it was felt that the reasons for a mandatory backup system were so important that they should not be lost if the Information Report is eventually p

38、rinted without the rationale sections. 4.3 Reduced Effort Power Steering 4.3.1 MAINTENANCE OF OEM DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Modifications should not introduce new single-point failures of the steering system which do not exist in the (OEM) system or compromise or eliminate crashworthiness provisions pr

39、ovided by the vehicle manufacturer in compliance with FMVSS 203 or 204, or the general provisions of FMVSS 201. (APPENDIX RTP 3.2) Rationale: It is recognized that single-point failure modes exist in the OEM configuration of steering systems. The intent of this paragraph is to not compromise the inh

40、erent reliability of the original equipment configuration by introducing additional single-point failure modes. 4.3.2 TORQUE REQUIRED FOR STEERING The torque required for steering control should be measured at the top of the steering shaft with vehicle engine running at the factory recommended curb

41、idle rpm with engine warm and air conditioning off. This torque should be within the range of 4.0 - 15.0 in-lb for steering designated as low effort steering and 1.5 to 4.0 in-lb for steering designated as “zero“ effort steering when tested with OEM wheels and tires on a dry smooth concrete surface.

42、 (APPENDIX RTP 5.1) Rationale: Two levels of reduced effort steering (with tolerance ranges for each) have been established. They correspond roughly to the results normally achieved by the two most common methods of steering modification. It was felt that even though it is possible to achieve virtua

43、lly any torque on some vans, it was better for those recommending modifications and those purchasing modifications to have ranges they could select rather than having to determine a specific value. The term “zero“ effort was chosen because of common usage already in practice for that modification ev

44、en though technically the steering effort is not zero (0) in-lb of torque. SAE J2672 Issued AUG2004 - 7 - 4.3.3 NUMBER OF TURNS REQUIRED FOR LOCK TO LOCK STEERING Turns lock to lock at the steering wheel should not exceed 8 full turns, nor should turns lock to lock be less than one full turn. (APPEN

45、DIX RTP 5.2) Rationale: Some versions of reduced effort power steering use a special reduction gear to lower the level of effort with a small diameter steering wheel. Test data of previous VA evaluations, plus literature suggest that up to 8 full turns lock to lock will provide acceptable steering p

46、erformance, and that less than one full turn makes a vehicle very sensitive to steering correction. Such changes require special evaluation and training. 4.4 Power Steering Backup Systems 4.4.1 AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION Automatic activation of the power steering backup system is mandatory in case of prim

47、ary power system failure as a result of at least the following causes: primary engine failure, broken power steering belt, power steering pump failure or a leak in the high pressure hose. 4.4.1.1 The power steering backup system should have automatic logic which can withstand a test of 2,500 cycles

48、of operation (APPENDIX RTP 5.3.1). 4.4.1.2 The power steering backup system should also have automatic logic such that the system comes on within one second when an appropriate sensor detects a reduction or cessation of flow below 0.75 gallons per minute in the high pressure line due to any or all o

49、f the following reason. 4.4.1.2.1 A decay in flow (from, for instance, a fluid leak). (APPENDIX RTP 5.3.2.1) 4.4.1.2.2 A sudden loss of flow (from, for instance, a broken belt or pump failure) (APPENDIX RTP 5.3.2.2.1). 4.4.1.2.3 A cessation of flow (from, for instance a blockage in the line) (APPENDIX RTP 5.3.2.2.2). Rationale: Automatic activation of the auxiliary power system is needed because primary power system failure may occur during a critical maneuver and the driver may not have time to manually activate the system and indeed may find both hands very busy at
