The steering systems fitted to motor vehicles can broadly be categorised into three types: (1) Mechanical hydraulic power steering systems; (2) Electro-hydraulic power steering systems; (3) Electric power steering systems. I.Electric Power Steering System (EPS) 1. The full English name is Electronic Power Steering, abbreviated as EPS. It utilises power generated by an electric motor to assis...
I.How it works Core function: to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into wheel movement, thereby steering the vehicle. 1. Mechanical steering (non-power-assisted). Steering wheel → steering column → steering gear (rack and pinion/recirculating ball) → steering linkage → steering knuckle → wheel deflection; driven entirely by human effort. 2. Hydraulic power steering (HPS). The mechanical s...
