Good stuff, again. Short story ... I worked (a long time ago - late 1990's) on an automated manufacturing/assembly system for an automotive Bosch Pressure transducer for their ABS brake system. As I recall the working range was 0-2300psi (it was a long time ago so I could be wrong). The design used a Wheatstone bridge printed on a stainless button if you will (pressure on one side, printed strain gauge on the other), and a small 4-wire PCB with enough memory for a calibration map to linearize the output. We built here in the US (Brigman, Indiana), and installed it in Dresden, Germany. They visited to watch the line run, and sign-off on it before we shipped it. I developed the software to track the serial number to the assembly and characterization profile. I also developed the software for controlling the laser marker. Since the sign-off tests were in the US, I had "Made in USA" along with the serial number and Merc logo .... and they were not happy. I obviously changed it to the spec to scribe "Made in Germany". They signed-off, we shipped it, I went with the system to install it. I kept the "Made in USA" part.
Great videos!
Please boost the volume if you can.
Great video.
The steering pressure sensors are made by Kulite.
From the serial in your video they appear to be 50BAR gauge.
Brian, thank you showing these type parts and all the others. Extremely interesting content.
Glad you're enjoying them. A bit of a ramble but the info is all there!
Love your videos and was so psyched to see some new ones loaded!! I have a lot of F1 parts but mostly simpler ones. I did have a titanium flexure from BAR Honda and always wondered where it came from on the car. It looked just like the one you drew up but without limit stops. I work in advanced small scale hydraulics similar to F1 so am always interested in more recent F1 hydraulic parts.
As you know design of micro systems is easier than manufacturing as it's all the same size on laptop screen...so I hope you go easy on the shop floor Technicians!!
Outstanding, thank you. My son will love it, too.
This is a hardcore info. I didn't know haw a power steering pump work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Another brilliant video, I found it counter intuitive that the pinion would be capable of moving but it’s a very clever system and when it’s explained with the help of cad it’s quite simple to get your head around. The whole steering system seems quite easy to work on with the complicated parts being on the outside but I suppose that’s designed into the system so it parts can be changed quickly. The in depth look into normal steering race was very interesting too, there’s so many times I’ve driven cars I expect to be a good yoke and it’s ruined by overly light steering. On the flip side I drove an STI Impreza before( one of the many variations) that had a quick rack from the factory and a very small steering wheel and within seconds of sitting in the car it’s just felt right, it’s was uncanny but I don’t think mot people in their general experience of cars will ever get that feeling in a road car. I can’t imagine them lads in the Mercs got it but I’m sure that’s what they were going for lol. Again great video very much appreciated. Liked, subbed and shared.
I hear what you're saying, had about 6 Mk2 Golf Gtis...last one the 16vg60. They all handled the best on 185s with a powersteering rack converted to manual (shafts welded at dog drive interface) and the hydro lines looped. The PS rack was a quicker ratio and could be had cheap. The setup was pure bliss and very well connected...added to by the 185 wide tyre higher slip angle. Thanks a million for sub and share!
@@EngineeredtoWin No problem sun and share are very well deserved. I’ve driven a couple of 8v Mk2s but I had mk3 for awhile that I polybushed here and there and had all the bushing in the gear linkage done and it’s was very fun car to drive, plenty of lift off over steer. A mate of mine also has a Mk3 Wolfsburg edition with a 16v engine that was a rare car if i remember correctly. I have a B5 4motion Passat currently 1.9tdi I wouldn’t change it for the world but I might get an old rack and have a look at the torsion bar in 3d because I’d love to add a bit of weight to the steering. Cheers for the reply
Wow excellent video!
engineering innit
Brian I hope you checked out today's season opener in Moto GP .... It was amazing... We need you .
We really do, there’s nothing like this for MotoGP. I’ve just read a GPOne article that was to go in the detail of the Aprilia rear ride height device that explained nothing about the actual device and gave an explanation on what it does rather how it does it. Everyone is well aware of what it does and why. They did have a decent picture of it though and I think Brian could work it out if he put his very capable mind to it lol
отличное видео, продолжай снимать такие сюжеты.
Thank you for sharing

Hey bud. great video as usual. Something off with the sound on your videos. I listen to them with headphones and all the sound only goes to left side.
Thanks and yup...another guy said that yesterday...Will upload tonights in mono. Mic ordered!
As someone starting out in CAD or a startup, what would you recommend in place of Fusion360?
Fusion is ok to learn on, and a great stepping stone for other cad. If I were you, I'd probably get a free start-up licence or hobby version and practice on it for 6months. It's perfectly fine for small assemblies, or where critical deadlines are not an issue. Down the line I would probably purchase a seat of solidworks - this is about a 5k one off payment.
