    Introduction
    Steering is the term applied to the collection of
    components, linkages, etc. which allow for a car or
    other vehicle to follow a course determined by its
    driver.

    History of Hydro-mechanical Power Steering


    (HMPS)

    Hydro-mechanical power steering was the


    first type to be used on agricultural tractors in
    the early 1950s.
    Suitable for small to medium tractors where
    power steering can be an option to manual
    steering.
    Once the size of the tractor becomes too big
    for manual steering, hydro-mechanical
    steering is usually not cost effective.

    General Circuit
    Oil Reservoir
    Must be large enough to hold more than all of the oil for
    the system.
    Should be capable of dissipating heat in oil.

    Hydraulic Lines
    Flexible hoses due to the steering components
    movements.

    Components in Power Steering


    Power Steering Pump
    Usually a vane-type pump or similar.
    Driven by the engine.

    Power Cylinder
    Double-acting differential cylinder.
    Steering response to left and right turns is slightly
    different. Hardly noticeable.

    Vane Type of Pump

    ROTARY VALVE

    Split Gears

    It converts the rotational


    motion of the steering
    wheel into the linear
    motion needed to turn
    the wheels.
    It provides a gear
    reduction, making it
    easier to turn the wheels.

    Steering Gear Box


    Steering gears are
    enclosed in a casing
    known as steering
    gear box ( as shown
    in Fig.)

    Recirculating-ball Steering
    The first part is a block of
    metal with a threaded hole
    in it.

    Works similar to a bolt


    that sticks into the hole in
    the block.

    These are used in havy

    duty comurcial
    vehicles.

    Power Rack-and-pinion

    Advantages
    Preventing the wheels from transferring the load to
    the steering column

    Reducing the drivers fatigue

    Low input torque and continuous steering function

    Oil output directly proportional to the steering speed

    Disadvantages
    Design is compications and increased in cost.

    Fluid leakage.

    Conclusion
    By studing all these we can conclude that the
    power stering is nesessory for the modern cars.
    Now a days we can see almost all cars having
    a power steering.
    It provides good handling to the driver, gives
    better comfert, and make him less fatigue.
