The new ATLASCAR electric steering column

Last December of 2010 a new advance was made at ATLASCAR steering. This new advance, consisted in a mechanical update of the steering column.

The mechanical updated consisted in merging the old column into the new one.

The merging operation started by disassembling both column.

The column is composed by 8 main components that need to be assembled into the new column.
A- shaft that transmits movement from the steering wheel to the pinion;
B- bracket to support the column into the cars chassis
C- end tip thats guarantees that the steer shaft is concentric and without any abnormal movement
D,F – bolt and spacer to connect steering wheel with shaft.
E- ignition key assembled at C
G- ignition thief lock
H- hood opening lever

A- electric steer column
B- column support bracket
C- universal joint shaft
D- steering wheel shaft

1- opel corsa eletric steer column
2- opel corsa shaft with universal joint (column side)
3- opel corsa support bracket
4- ford escort support bracket1
5- ford escort end tip
6- ford escort hood opening lever
7- ford escort ignition thief lock
8- ford escort ignition
9- ford escort support bracket 2 to be updated
10- ford escort shaft with universal joint (pinion side)
11- ford escort shaft steering wheel
12- spacer to steering wheel

As can be observed the new column is a mix of the previous two. The column is made with the development and adjustment of some parts.

The new developed parts were:

  • upper support bracket

  • lower support bracket

  • potentiometer support bracket

The updated parts were:

  • re-design of opel corsa universal joint steering column side

  • re-design of ford universal joint pinion side

  • re-design of steering wheel shaft

  • re-design of guidance for steering shaft
