Electric Hydraulic Steering Gear

Power steering power steering is boost produced by a pump which creates tremendous pressure through the use of hydraulic fluid in most cases.

Electric hydraulic steering gear.

Both are attached to the rack and pinion with threaded brass fittings. Electronic power steering system it is the latest type of power steering system in which the hydraulic system from the hydraulic power steering is completely replaced with electric motors and electric sensors instead of using hydraulic force the motor driven by the vehicle s battery is used to apply force on the steering gear and torque. In rotary vane steering gear there is a fixed housing in which two vanes rotate. The hydraulic pressure typically comes from a gerotor or rotary vane pump driven by the vehicle s engine.

Hydraulic power steering systems work by using a hydraulic system to multiply force applied to the steering wheel inputs to the vehicle s steered usually front road wheels. The steering coupler connects the steering wheel and shaft to the steering gear. If your vehicle has hydraulic power steering there are two main power steering hoses. The ram type steering gear arrangement produces a considerably high value of torque for a given applied power.

The high side high pressure hose and the low side low pressure hose. Rotary vane steering gear. The configuration of an eps system can allow the entire power assist system to be packaged on the rack and pinion steering gear or in the steering column. This pressure applies force to the steering gear which in turn reduces the amount of physical effort.

A double acting hydraulic cylinder applies a force to the steering gear which in turn steers the roadwheels. The hydraulic oil pressure varies from 100 bars to 175 bars depending on the size of the rudder and torque required. Assist is reduced at speed for great road feel without the sloppy feel of hydraulic power steering think 76 buick.
