METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE DESIGN OPERATING MODE OF HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING AT THE DESIGN STAGE

The article presents a methodology for determining the design mode of operation of a hydraulic power steering at the design stage. The technique includes: calculation of the moments of forces acting on the car when turning; determination of power and kinetic parameters of the hydraulic power steering; determination of the driving modes of a car with a hydraulic power steering.

The article gives the sequence for determining the most loaded operating mode of the hydraulic power steering. The calculation is made when turning the car at different speeds and in different road conditions.

The calculation of the most loaded operating mode of the hydraulic power steering of the car will reduce the complexity of theoretical studies of the hydraulic power steering at the design stage.
