POWER RACK AND POWER RACK AND PINION STEERINGPINION STEERING A typical power rack-and-pinion steering assembly is used on many cars. This rack-and-pinion assembly is a hydraulic-mechanical unit with an integral piston and rack assembly. An internal rotary valve direct power steering fluid flow and controls pressure to reduce steering effort.When the steering wheel is turned, resistance created by the weight of the car and tires-to-road friction causes a torsion bar in the rotary valve to deflect. This changes the position of the valve spool and sleeve, thereby directing fluid under pressure to the proper end of the power cylinder.The difference in pressure on either side of the piston (attached to rack) helps move the rack to reduce turning effort. The fluid in the opposite end of the power cylinder is forced to the control valve and back to the pump reservoir. When the steering efforts stops, the control valve is centered by the twisting force of the torsion bar, pressure is equalized on both sides of the piston, and the front wheels return to the straight ahead position.POWER RACK AND PINION STEERING Steering ColumnPower Steering PumpPower Steering GearPOWER RACK AND PINION STEERINGSystem construction System constructionPOWER RACK AND PINION STEERING The rack-and-pinion power steering system consists of:- Rack and pinion steering gear box- Power steering oil pump- Oil reservoir- TubesThe power steering system uses a hydraulic pressure which is generated by the power steering pump to reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel. The power steering pump is mounted on the front of the engine. The pump has a vane-type design, and is driven by the crankshaft through a drive belt.The power steering fluid is drawn into the pump from the reservoir when the engine is running. The fluid is pressurized by a power steering switch and a control valve located in the power steering pump.System constructionPOWER RACK AND PINION STEERING POWER RACK AND PINION STEERINGRack-and-pinion steering linkage Rack-and-pinion linkage connects the gear to the steering knuckles. The construction of the Rack-and-pinion linkage is tie rod ends, Lock nut, Boot, Inner ball joint, Rack, Pinion shaft assembly, Steering gear housing, Oil pipe, Bearings, Seals, Bushings, O-rings. One end of the inner tie rod is inside the steering gear and is connected with the inner ball joint. The inner tie rod is protected from the elements by a rubber boots. The outer part of the inner tie rod is a threaded shaft and the outer tie rod is threaded onto this shaft and held in place by a locknut. Toe adjustment is made by loosening the locknut and turning the inner rod to shorten or lengthen the tie rod assembly. POWER RACK AND PINION STEERING POWER RACK AND PINION STEERING 1. Tie rod end2.
