What is an Impact-absorbing Mechanism?
When a vehicle involved in a collision, this mechanism helps prevent the steering main shaft from injuring the driver in two ways: by the breaking at the time of the collision (primary shock); and by reducing (more…)
What is an Automotive Gear Housing
1. Description
The piston in the power cylinder is positioned on the rack, and the rack moves due to fluid pressurized by the vane pump acting on the piston in either direction. Fluid pressure leakage (more…)
The idea of New PPS (Progressive Power Steering)
1. Description
The new PPS(Progressive Power Steering) varies, the steering operation effort in accordance with the vehicle speed. The steering effort is lighter at low speed and heavier at high speed.

What is EPS (Electric Power Steering) ?
1. Description
EPS (Electric Power Steering) generates the assist torque by the motor for steering operation and reduces the steering effort. Hydraulic power steering uses the power of the engine to (more…)
What is Power Steering?
1. Description
To improve driving comfort, most modern automobiles have wide, lowpressure tires which increase the tire-to-road surface contact area. As a result of this, more steering effort is required. (more…)
What is a Flow control valve & control spool?
The discharge volume of the vane pump increases proportionately as engine speed rises. The amount of steering assist provided by the power piston of the power cylinder is determined by the volume of fluid (more…)
What is Steering Linkage?
1. Description
A steering linkage is a combination of the rods and arms that transmit the movement of the steering gear to the left and right front wheels. The steering linkage must accurately transmit (more…)
