Steering Yokes Versus Steering Wheels Yokes make sense in aviation, where a quarter-turn in either direction covers the entire range of steering. From a hard left to a hard right , a pilot can typically rotate the yoke just 180 to 200 degrees.
A steering yoke, also known as a steering shaft, is a component of a vehicle’s steering system that connects the steering column to the steering gearbox. The yoke is a U-shaped component that attaches to the steering column at one end and to the steering gearbox at the other end. It allows the steering wheel’s rotational movement to be transmitted to the steering gearbox, which then controls the direction of the vehicle’s wheels.
The steering yoke has teeth that interlock with teeth on the steering gearbox. These teeth are designed to ensure that the steering yoke and the steering gearbox move in synchronization and that the steering system functions properly. The teeth on the steering yoke are typically machined to precise specifications to ensure proper engagement with the teeth on the steering gearbox.
Over time, the teeth on the steering yoke and gearbox can wear down due to regular use, which can cause the steering system to become loose or unresponsive. This can be dangerous, as it can affect the driver’s ability to control the vehicle. Regular inspection and maintenance of the steering yoke and teeth are important for ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle’s steering system. If any damage or wear is detected, it should be repaired or replaced promptly by a qualified mechanic to avoid any potential safety hazards.
