The most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a hand–operated steering wheel which is positioned in front of the driver, via the steering column, which may contain universal joints, to allow it to deviate somewhat from a straight line. Other arrangements are sometimes found on different types of vehicles, for example, a tiller or rear–wheel steering. Many modern cars use rack and pinion steering mechanisms. The rack and pinion design has the advantages of a large degree of feedback and direct steering "feel”. A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar – the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move to the side, up to the limit of its travel. In this paper the basic thing taken into consideration is the stresses acting on the tooth when the load is applied, which in turn is done by rotating the steering wheel. The comparison, of stresses induced on the tooth profiles of different types of gears (spur & helical gear), gives the better type of gear to be taken into consideration.Modelling is done using Solid works software and Analysis using Ansys.
