Abstract
A steering system may include a gear assembly and a collar. The gear assembly may include a planet carrier, a planet gear, an internal ring gear, and a sun gear. The planet gear may be disposed between the internal ring gear and the sun gear. The gear assembly may provide a mechanical advantage to the steering system, which may result in a greater powered steering range, a shorter rack assembly, and/or increased design space relative to typical steering systems.
