Operation of Steering Gear and Fluid Flow

Operation of steering gear and fluid flow




A. Neutral position, the fluid can flow freely through the steering gear.
B. Steering left Fluid under high pressure flows from the power steering pump into the valve housing through the upper terminal. From the valve housing, the fluid flows via the rotary valve into the external pipe in the steering gear and acts on the piston (20) and steering rack (10). See the diagram below Design Design. The steering rack is therefore forced to the right.
C. Steering right Fluid under high pressure flows from the power steering pump into the valve housing through the upper terminal. Fluid flows into the steering gear via the external pipe and acts on the piston (20) and steering rack (10). The steering rack is forced to the left.
