    Power Steering

    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 1950’s.
    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
    Filters
    Oil Filter
    Preferably installed in
    the return line.

    A 10-micron or smaller
    filter is recommended.

    Air Breather Filter


    The “breather” or vent
    in the reservoir.
    A 3-micron filter is
    recommended.
    Components in Power Steering


    Pump


    Steering gears


    Rotary valve


    Linkages
    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.
    HMPS Type
    4
    The control valve and the actuator are mounted on

    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 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.
    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.
    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.
