2. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

3. Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fluid

   Power steering fluid is a sub type of hydraulic fluid. Most are mineral oil or silicone based fluids, while some use automatic transmission fluid , made from synthetic base oil. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Automatic transmissions use fluids for their lubrication, cooling and hydraulic properties for viscous couplings .

4. Serpentine belt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_belt

   Serpentine belt (foreground) and dual vee belt (background) on a bus engine Belt tensioner providing pressure against the back of a serpentine belt in an automobile engine. A serpentine belt (or drive belt [1]) is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air ...

5. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   A belt driven 7-piston pump, similar in size to a power steering pump, generates this pressure when the engine is running. [ 20 ] 1960 The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues U.S. patent 2959410A for a Double stage oleo-pneumatic shock absorber using concepts very similar to those developed earlier by Paul Magès – Patent forms ...

6. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   A Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) uses hydraulic pressure supplied by an engine-driven pump to assist the motion of turning the steering wheel. Electric Power Steering (EPS) is more efficient than hydraulic power-steering, since the electric power-steering motor only needs to provide assistance when the steering wheel is turned, whereas the ...

7. Marles steering gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marles_steering_gear

   For example, the Variomatic system fitted as an option to the Jaguar 420 required only 2-7/8 turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock, which compares favourably with 4-1/4 turns lock-to-lock for the manual Burman F.3 recirculating ball system that was standard fitment on the 420, and 3-1/4 [4] turns for the constant ratio Burman power steering ...
