  • Patent number: 10066726
    Abstract: A worm wheel of a reduction gear for an electric power steering includes: a boss part including a hollow portion formed along an axial-direction center for coupling of a shaft and having first coupling surfaces, each of which is formed by a first convex surface and a first concave surface continuously repeated along an outer peripheral surface; and a tooth-shaped part having second coupling surfaces, each of which is formed by a second convex surface and a second concave surface continuously repeated along an inner peripheral surface, such that the second coupling surfaces are coupled corresponding to the first coupling surfaces, wherein a plurality of teeth are continuously formed along a periphery thereof with spacing portions interposed therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20140069219
    Abstract: A reduction gear for electric power steering includes a first reduction gear composition for electric power steering containing 95 to 97 parts by weight of polyamide 66 (PA66) among polyamide-based materials, and a second reduction gear composition for electric power steering containing 3 to 5 parts by weight of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (EMAA) among polyolefin-based materials, wherein a weight ratio of the PA66 to the EMAA is 24:1 to 49:1. A method for manufacturing a reduction gear for electric power steering includes adding a first reduction gear composition for electric power steering comprising 95 to 97 parts by weight of PA66 among polyamide-based materials and a second reduction gear composition for electric power steering containing 3 to 5 parts by weight of an EMAA among polyolefin-based materials to a heater having a melting temperature of 250° C. to 260° C.
