This arrangement makes the recirculating ball in the cavity of the recirculating ball electric steering device suspended in the air. When the device is working, the recirculating ball will be deformed. When the recirculating ball electric steering device is working, the recirculating ball is very easy to be deformed. This is because the recirculating ball nut has no support inside the product. Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the second structural nut become a full circle, and the state of the conduit and the pressure plate surface supported by the two end surfaces is consistent with the original square nut. The insufficient supporting area is very easy to wear, and it loses its supporting function after rapid wear. Summary of the invention
