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 1950s. 
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 
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. 
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 1 
The integral valve and actuator coupled to steering linkage. 
Easiest to adapt 
to an existing 
mechanical 
steering layout. 
Only two hoses 
are neede
HMPS Type 2 
Steering column mounted control valve with separate, remote actuator 
coupled to a linkage member. 
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. 
Keeps the area 
around the 
steering wheel 
from becoming 
too congested. 
Four hoses are 
required.
HMPS Type 4 
The control valve and the actuator are mounted on the steering column, 
the actuator drives the pitman arm by rack and pinion or by crank arm 
means. 
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 
Steering gears are 
enclosed in a casing 
known as steering 
gear box ( as shown 
in Fig.)
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 todays 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 drivers 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.
