Typically engine-driven via a belt, these pumps convert rotational motion into fluid flow, enabling power steering operation. Internal components such as vanes, rotors, or gears pressurize steering fluid delivered to the steering gear or rack. Modern pumps often incorporate flow control valves to regulate assistance levels based on vehicle speed. Construction utilizes robust housings, seals, and bearings designed for continuous fluid exposure and high-pressure operation. Failure manifests as difficult steering, fluid leaks, or pump noise.
