154-3023: Steering Gear Pump

A Gear pump is a positive displacement pump used in a secondary steering system. It is designed to provide hydraulic fluid flow at a constant rate and pressure to assist with steering movements. It consists of two meshing gears, one gear is driven by the vehicle's engine or a separate hydraulic motor, while the other gear is driven by the motion of the first gear. The gears rotate in opposite directions, creating a sealed chamber between their teeth and the pump housing. Attributes: • Provide optimal oil flow and minimize energy losses. • Withstands harsh operating conditions. • Designed to resist high pressures and temperatures. Applications: A Gear pump provides smooth and responsive steering by providing the necessary hydraulic power to assist with steering movements.
