The main characteristics are determined for the type of pump assembled, the pressure that the circuit works, the functions from the steering and overall the vehicle in which has been assembled. We must say that there are a few types, the most common are

• Gear pinion
• Blade
• Piston

Applications

This application is general for all vehicles (industrial and cars) which have an hydraulic steering functioning. The main brands are ZF and LUK. For example: MAN, DAF, RVI, MB, IVECO, PEGASO, SCANIA, NISSAN…

Maintenance

It doesn´t need specific maintenance, you only have to keep in mind that the pump must never work in empty deposit for a big loss of oil in the circuit, and after repair will need to be clean to get the shavings out and so, not to damage the internal part of the pump.
