Everything About Power Steering Pumps & Hose


The power steering pump, also known as a vane pump, is a mechanism that is powered by the crankshaft movement via pulley and belt. A power steering pressure hose is an important part of the steering system that can assist you in steering your car safely, smoothly, and securely. Between the steering pump and the power steering rack, the power steering pressure hose transports high-pressure power steering fluid.

What Is A Car Power Steering Pumps & Hose?

Power Steering Pump

The power steering pump pulley drives the power steering pump and receives the power from the crankshaft pulley via a drive belt. This drive belt can be of 2 types - a V-type or a ribbed V-type. The ribbed V-belt has several ribbed grooves on the bottom and a flat upper side. It surrounds the pulley on all the belt-driven components so that they can lie on the same vertical plane. This helps to save some space. Some power steering systems have an integral fluid reservoir, whereas the other power steering systems have a remote fluid reservoir. The high-pressure hose supplies fluid to the steering gear with the help of the power steering pump and the fluid returns from the steering gear through a low-pressure hose to the pump. The power steering pump has vanes that are fitted to the outside diameter of the rotor and sits against the housing walls as the rotor turns. The rotor and vane assembly rotate in an elliptical cam ring in the center, which allows for the change in volume as the rotor turns inside the pump housing. When the space becomes smaller between the pump housing, rotor, and vanes, the pressure is applied to the fluid. This pressurized power steering fluid is then pushed through the pump outlet fitting and high-pressure hose to the steering gear.

Power Steering Hose

The power steering hose joins the power steering pump to the cylinders which helps a vehicle to turn left and right easily. It takes a pressurized power steering fluid right into the steering rack and utilizes it to control the rate of turn of a steering wheel.

It is also used in hydraulics, air, fuel, and lubricating oil applications. It consists of a resistant fabric cover, patented synthetic rubber tube, and is prepared with standard steel recyclable fittings. It provides 1,300 psi (8,964kPa) of "boost" pressure that is needed for the proper functioning of the power-steering system.
