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)
Pump
Steering gears
Rotary valve
Linkages
Components in Power Steering
Most sophisticated
the steering column, the actuator drives the
design
pitman arm by rack and pinion or by crank arm
Requires little or no
steering linkage
means.
modification.
Requires larger space
envelope than other
types.
ROTARY VALVE
Split Gears
It provides a gear
reduction, making it
easier to turn the wheels.
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
The Future of Steering - Drive by
Wire
As the majority of today’s hydraulic power
steering systems are designed to have the
steering pump running constantly, pumping fluid
around the system, it wastes valuable horsepower,
which translates into wasted efficiency and
therefore fuel.
One concept is the "steer-by-wire" or "drive-by-wire"
system. These system would completely eliminate the
mechanical connection between the steering wheel and
the steering, replacing it with a purely electronic control
system.
Advantages
Preventing the wheels from transferring the load
to the steering column
Reducing the driver’s 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.
