- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-102027
- a ferrous sintered metal or a synthetic resin is used as a rack guide that slides and supports a rack bar.
- the rack guide made of iron-based sintered metal has sufficient mechanical strength against the impact load from the rack bar, but the sliding friction resistance is large, so the efficiency of the steering system is reduced and the maneuverability is reduced. Leaves a problem.
- the rack guide which has a single synthetic resin force, can reduce sliding friction resistance, but on the other hand, it has poor mechanical strength against impact load, and has dimensional variations due to molding shrinkage, etc.
- a problem in its production has been raised.
- a die casting method is usually employed. According to this die-casting method, the molten metal of aluminum or aluminum alloy is pressed into the cavity formed in the shape of the rack guide base through the sprue runner. The formation of a runner is inevitably required at the joint of the cavities and at the joint of the cavity and the overflow. Then, by cutting these runners, a rack guide base is formed.
- the gap between the rack guide having a circular cross section and the cylindrical housing of the rack-pione type steering device in which the rack guide is arranged is set to 1 to 20 m. Even after the cutting, the protrusion is inevitably present on the outer peripheral surface of the rack guide base as a gate cutting residue. Therefore, there is a problem that a rack guide base having a protrusion on the outer peripheral surface cannot be disposed in a cylindrical housing unless the entire outer peripheral surface of the base is machined. Cost due to the entire machine It is a factor that causes high prices. The same applies when zinc or a zinc alloy is used for the molten metal.

There is a possibility that a minute gap may remain at the boundary between the two.
- the minute gap at the boundary between the mold and the movable mold is a cause of the occurrence of projections on the rack guide base, which is a manufactured product, as a result of the molten metal being supplied thereto.
- the rack guide base When the rack guide base is present in the same manner as the protruding part after cutting the runner, the rack guide base cannot be arranged in a cylindrical shape or a housing unless the rack guide base is mechanically cut. This is a factor that causes high costs.
