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. Hydrosteer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrosteer

   Hydrosteer was the name given by George Kent Ltd and Cam Gears Limited through Hydrosteer Limited [1] of Luton, England, to its automotive power steering system. Initially Hydrosteer manufactured the Ross-Link system for commercial vehicles from 1953 under licence from Ross Gear and Tool of U.S.A. [2] Their own product available from 1961 was based on a cam and peg system and was characterised ...

4. Rotary vane pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_vane_pump

   Vane pumps are commonly used as high-pressure hydraulic pumps and in automobiles, including supercharging, power-steering, air conditioning, and automatic-transmission pumps [citation needed]. Pumps for mid-range pressures include applications such as carbonators for fountain soft-drink dispensers and espresso coffee machines [citation needed].

5. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

   The 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a hydraulically driven radiator fan, powered by the SUV's power steering pump. In vehicles such as heavy trucks and tractors, hydraulic systems are much more common. Hydraulic rams are used for accessories such as dump truck beds, cranes, loaders, and three-point hitches.

6. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

   Fluid flow in an external gear pump. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a ...

7. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

   An exploded view of an external gear pump. Hydraulic pumps supply fluid to the components in the system. Pressure in the system develops in reaction to the load. Hence, a pump rated for 5,000 psi is capable of maintaining flow against a load of 5,000 psi. Pumps have a power density about ten times
