Abstract
Manual rack and pinion steering systems are commonly used in small cars like nano and maruti800. The main aim of this paper is to create comparison between manual rack and pinion steering system and power steering system. The comparison of steering system factors like compactness, maintenance, power consumption.
Electric Power Steering for automobiles is primarily an energy saving scheme. Electric Power Steering (EPS) is a combination of electric and mechanical system, which reduces steering effort on wheel by applying the power from an electric motor to the steering system. A EPS system has been established, including full vehicle mechanical system, EPS mechanical system, and EPS electric control system. Electrical power steering will become most efficient, safe and reliable power steering system.
Keywords: Rack and Pinion steering, EPS, Mechanical system
