Abstract
Hydraulically supported steering systems have been a standard of the car industry for many years, being state-of-the-art even in compact cars. The open centre steering system with a volumetric flow-controlled vane-type pump has prevailed against other possible steering systems, essentially because of its price. This steering system is questioned, though, by the very heated debate about energy conservation. Power-saving hydraulic systems are advancing, hence, because the power dissipation of a limited vane cell can no longer be neglected. These systems will be discussed in the following.
