Steering Components |
Many modern automobiles feature power steering in
order to make the vehicle easier to drive. Labtech offers a variety of systems
and components to meet the training requirements of this skill area. There are
two types of power steering units (PSU) in use today. The first type is a
self-contained power steering unit which is hydraulic control valve that
actuates the built-in Pitman shaft. The operational result is similar in
function to conventional steering gear. The other system is called the linkage
type power steering unit which features a separate hydraulic control unit and
power cylinder which functions in combination with standard manual type steering
gear in order to provide power assisted steering. Both utilize a power steering
pump and reservoir.
