Generally, the bearing structure of the Spigoo shaft in the universal joint part of an automobile steering shaft is such that the yoke and the bearing outer, and the Spigoo shaft and the bearing inner are press-fitted, respectively.
The clearance between these varies greatly from +50L1 to -30L1.

However, in order to suppress this variation in clearance, we are trying to improve the machining accuracy of the bearing, Spigoo shaft, and yoke hole, but this alone cannot suppress it.
Furthermore, even when selective fitting was carried out, the width of variation was about 4 wires.

To explain this in more detail, in rack and pinion type steering gears, the pinion cannot follow the left and right movement of the rack bar due to external forces from the road surface (the pinion has several accessories attached to it before it reaches the steering wheel). Therefore, the inertia is large and it cannot be followed.

In order to achieve this objective, the spider shaft support part is provided with a tapered part whose diameter gradually becomes smaller toward the end face of the support part, and a spacer that is fitted through the tapered part is attached to the tapered part using an elastic body.

Furthermore, an elastic body 10 is interposed between the bottom surface 9b of the movable spacer 9 and the bottom surface 7a of the casing 7, and is formed by pressing the movable spacer 9 in a direction opposite to the end surface 5b. Due to the pressing action of the elastic body 10, the movable spacer 9 has its outer peripheral surface 9C and inner peripheral surface 9a in contact with the inner peripheral surface 6a of the roller bearing 6 and the tapered portion 5C of the spider shaft 5 without any gap. It is configured.

Furthermore, even when a force is applied to the yoke 8 in the left-right direction, that is, in the direction of arrow B, since the taper is only slight, the efficiency with respect to the movement in the direction A is extremely poor. The movable spacer 9 does not move and maintains zero clearance.
