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…)
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…)

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…)
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…)
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…)
