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)
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.
General Circuit
Filters
Oil Filter
Preferably installed in
the return line.
A 10-micron or smaller
filter is recommended.
Pump
Steering gears
Rotary valve
Linkages
Components in Power Steering
Easiest to adapt
to an existing
mechanical
steering layout.
Creates a highly
congested area with
all of the hoses.
Four Hoses are
needed: supply,
return and a pair to
the actuator.
Creates noise, heat
and vibration
HMPS Type 3
Control Valve and actuator separately mounted in the steering linkage.
Most sophisticated
design
Requires little or no
steering linkage
modification.
Requires larger space
envelope than other
types.
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

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
