Abstract

Paper presents results of the laboratory tests concerning with measurements of the acoustic emission of the power steering column equipped with a modified composite gear body juxtaposed with the production version of the power steering column with the gear body made of aluminium alloy. The new, developed power steering column worm gear housing is made of a polymer called polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) and the Reaction-Injection-Moulding technology was used to produce it (the shortcut of the technology name is RIM technology). Both types of the worm power steering housings were tested to analyse their properties of acoustic emission. Results of the tests are very important considering noise generated during exploitation of a car’s power steering system.
