Summary of Power Steering System
With the purpose of reducing the working intensity of drivers, the power steering system is firstly installed on
heavy-duty vehicles. However, with the increase of high speed demand and load on the steering wheel, the power
steering has become necessary and its application range has been widened. The advantages of the power steering
system are as follows:
It reduces the steering force applied on the steering wheel, especially in the case of static steering and low-speed
steering with large steering angle, the assistance is obvious.
It enhances the steering sensitivity.
It reduces the impact on the steering wheel in the case of ground kick back.
In the case of certain tire burst, it may prevent the wheel from swerve thus it improves driving safety.
It enables the steering wheels to bear larger loads and increase the freedom of general arrangement.
The power steering system consists of:
Vehicle power steering system consists of the power steering gear, power steering pump, power steering oil reservoir
and hydraulic line. The power steering gear is the actuator of the steering system hydraulic booster; the steering oil
pump associates with the engine, playing a role in hydraulic power supply for the system; the steering oil reservoir
possesses the function of storing, cooling and filtering of steering oil.
The structure of the power steering system is shown as follows:
