Electric power steering eps or motor driven power steering mdps uses an electric motor rather than hydraulic system to assist the driver of a vehicle. Sensors detect the position and torque of the steering column and a computer module applies assistive torque via the motor which connects to either the steering gear or steering column.

By providing power assist via hydraulic pressure this system delivers a naturally smooth steering feel and thanks to the flexibility of control allowed by electric power offers more precise steering power characteristics. How hydraulic power steering works. The steering torque sensor measures the steering force applied by the driver and enables sensitive control of the electric steering support. It also improves fuel economy since the electric powered pump operates only when steering assist is needed.

Hydraulic power steering v s electric power steering. We have already covered technical article on the two most popular power steering systems electric power steering vs hydraulic power steering. Earlier it did not have any difference in steering response with speed of the car but the new age of hydraulic power steering are speed sensitive and work better than the older hydraulic.

Hydraulic power steering is a primitive technology used for decades and has improved a lot with time. Understanding general details related to widely used and popular hydraulic power steering system will help to troubleshoot and maintain the system for reducing expensive damage.
