Power operated unlike conventional power assisted steering systems.
But 12-volt motors that pump hydraulic fluid or move mechanical components like steering systems are relatively big and inefficient.
The vehicle is also equipped with a 380-volt auxiliary inverter that supplies power for the air compressor, steering servo, ventilating fans and other systems.
Originally a sub contract manufacturing facility, in 1982 Pailton developed their own range of Universal joints and sliding shafts for steering systems.
Crossovers also have suspensions and steering systems much like those of cars, compared with the rugged, often less sophisticated, systems of trucks.
The major design factors for steering systems are efficiency, reliability and precision alignment to minimize tire wear and power loss.
For ships with independent propulsion systems for each side, such as manual oars or some paddles, steering systems may not be necessary.
Some propulsion systems are inherently steering systems.
His models for wheelchair athletes feature front ends and steering systems that allow high-level competition, he said.
