The pump i s a fixed dis placement, vane type pump which s uppl ies hydrauli c pres sure to t he st eeri ng gear valve unit . Thepump i s located at t he rear of t he engi ne and is driven by t he Rear Engi ne Auxi liary Drive (READ) Poly Vee bel t which i sindirect ly driven from t he cams haft s . The pump s uppl ies a cons tant fl ow rate, t herefore the out put i s i ndependent ofpump/engine s peed. A s el f-adjus ti ng tens ioner is fit t ed to maint ai n t he correct t ension on the bel t.
The pump contains a number of vanes which rot ate wit hin a cam ri ng and are driven by t he i nput s haft . As the vanesrot ate, t he cam ring causes t he s pace bet ween the vanes t o increas e. Thi s caus es a depres s ion bet ween the vanes andfl uid i s drawn from t he res ervoir vi a t he suct ion hos e int o t he s pace between the vanes. As t he s haft rotat es , t he inl etport i s clos ed to the vanes which have drawn in fluid, t rapping t he fluid bet ween t he vanes . The cam ring caus es t he s pacebetween t he vanes to reduce and cons equenti ally compress es and pres s uri zes t he hydrauli c fl ui d t rapped between t hem.Furt her rotat ion of t he s haft moves the vanes t o the out let port . As t he vanes pas s t he port plat e t he pres surized fluidpass es from the pump out let port into the press ure hose to the s t eering gear.
The pres s urized fluid is s ubject t o cont rol by a flow cont rol and pres s ure relief valve. The fl ow control valve maintai ns acons t ant flow of flui d s uppl ied t o t he s teeri ng gear irres pecti ve of engi ne s peed variati ons . The pres s ure reli ef val ve limit st he maximum pres sure on t he output s ide of t he pump. A met eri ng orifice i s included i n t he dis charge port of the pump.
If the pres s ure in t he ori fi ce reaches a predetermined l evel , a s pring loaded bal l in t he cent re of the flow cont rol valve isli ft ed from it s s eat and al lows pres s uri zed flui d t o recircul ate wit hi n t he pump. The pres sure rel ief valve wi ll operate if t hedis charge from the pump is rest ri ct ed, for example, s teeri ng held on full l ock. If the output from the pump is bl ocked, al loutput is recirculat ed t hrough the pump. In t his condi ti on, as no fresh fl ui d i s drawn i nto the pump from t he res ervoir, thefl uid t emperat ure i nsi de t he pump wil l increas e rapi dl y. Cons equent iall y, periods of operati on of the s t eering gear on ful llock s houl d be kept to a mi nimum to prevent overheati ng of the pump and the flui d within it .
The pump has an i nternal pres s ure reli ef valve whi ch als o i ncorporat es a flow cont rol val ve. The press ure rel ief val ve li mit s
