The hydraulic power
steering system is a closed
loop system that uses
pressurized hydraulic fluids
for changing the wheel
angle of front wheels based
on steering angle.
 
It contains a hydraulic
pump driven by a belt,
valves, cylinder, reservoir
and a driver control
mechanism(rack &
pinion/steering gearboxes).

A hydraulic fluid or hydraulic liquid is the
medium by which power is transferred
in hydraulic machinery. Common
hydraulic fluids are based on 
mineral oil.
 
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.
 
Use of the wrong type of fluid can lead to
failure of the power steering pump.

When car’s engine is running, the engine belt turns in a
loop and that also turns the steering pump. With that,
the pump pulls the steering fluid from the steering
fluid reservoir and pressurizes them.
 
We put low pressure steering fluid in, and high pressure
 steering fluid comes out of the other end. These high p
ressure steering fluid then leaves the steering pump, th
rough the steering hoses and into the steering rack, spe
cifically into the rotary valve.

A rotary valve is a highly sensitive
metal casing with strategically placed
holes that redirects the steering fluid
either back to the steering pump or
into the steering rack.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If the steering wheel is in its original
position, the rotary valve redirects the
steering fluid back to the steering pump
and nothing happens. The cycle of steering
fluid moving from reservoir to pump and to
rotary valve just keeps repeating itself.
 
But when the driver turns the steering
wheel, the rotary valve opens up and
steering fluid from the steering pump gets
redirected. This time, it doesn’t go back to
the steering pump but it exits the rotary
valve through the fluid lines and into one of
the hydraulic chamber of the steering rack.

When there is more steering
fluid on one side of the
hydraulic chamber, it creates a
pressure differential across
the chamber.
 
The steering
fluid then pushes the
hydraulic piston towards the
weaker side of the hydraulic
chamber and the steering rack
moves accordingly.

Hydraulic Power Steering Systems (HPS) have a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, with key advancements leading to their widespread adoption in modern cars. This article explores the origins, development, and key components of hydraulic power steering systems, highlighting their importance in vehicle steering mechanisms. The system's closed-loop design utilizes pressurized hydraulic fluids to facilitate steering control, with additional parts such as hydraulic fluid, reservoirs, pumps, and valves enhancing its functionality and power delivery.

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. Hydraulic Hydraulic fluid fluid Use of the wrong type of fluid can lead to failure of the power steering pump.

  11. Steering Steering fluid fluid reservoir reservoir It holds the fluid, and supplies them to the steering pump through rubber hoses.

  12. Steering Steering pump pump When car s engine is running, the engine belt turns in a loop and that also turns the steering pump. With that, the pump pulls the steering fluid from the steering fluid reservoir and pressurizes them. We put low pressure steering fluid in, and high pressure steering fluid comes out of the other end. These high p ressure steering fluid then leaves the steering pump, th rough the steering hoses and into the steering rack, spe cifically into the rotary valve.

  13. Rotary Rotary Valve Valve A rotary valve is a highly sensitive metal casing with strategically placed holes that redirects the steering fluid either back to the steering pump or into the steering rack. If the steering wheel is in its original position, the rotary valve redirects the steering fluid back to the steering pump and nothing happens.
