Introduction
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Purpose. The purpose of this test is to
determine the stick slip characteristics of passenger car and
lightduty truck collapsible intermediate shafts (I-shafts) when
subjected to axial displacement and constant torque. This procedure
may be used for development or validation. This test provides axial
displacement in conjunction with a constant torque applied to the
intermediate shaft. Results of the test will predict stick slip
performance in a worst case scenario (large and or frequent
stroking events between steering column and steering gear).
Applicability. This procedure applies to body
on frame and body frame integral vehicles.
