Hydrosteer (original) (raw)
Hydrosteer was the name given by George Kent Ltd and Cam Gears Limited through of Luton, England, to its automotive power steering system. Initially Hydrosteer manufactured the Ross-Link system for commercial vehicles from 1953 under licence from Ross Gear and Tool of U.S.A. Their own product available from 1961 was based on a cam and peg system and was characterised by its fully integrated design and variable steering ratio. This configuration provided automotive manufacturers with a fairly simple design modification to provide a power steering option for cars fitted with a conventional cam and peg steering box.

It was fitted to several, mainly British, luxury automobiles of the era. Production continued up to 1973, with just over 105,000 units being produced. As a "first generation" assistance system, applications were somewhat varied in their tuning of the many system dynamics to the specific vehicle. The system fell out of use as powered rack and pinion steering systems gained in popularity. The 1960s Hydrosteer system should not be confused with , an Australian company established in 1981 as a provider of heavy truck steering technology in that country. (en) Hydrosteer était le nom donné par Hydrosteer Limited de Luton, Angleterre, (plus tard Cam Gears Ltd) à son système de direction assistée pour automobile, qui fut produit pour la première fois en 1961. Il était basé sur un système à came et cheville et se caractérise par sa conception entièrement intégrée et son rapport de direction variable. Cette configuration fournissait aux industriels de l'automobile une conception de modification simple permettant d'offrir la direction assistée en option aux voitures équipées d'un boîtier de direction classique à came et cheville. Il fut adapté à plusieurs automobiles de luxe de l'époque, principalement britanniques. La production continua jusqu'en 1973, et un peu plus de 105 000 unités furent produites. En tant qu'assistance de « première génération », les demandes ont quelque peu varié dans le paramétrage du système en fonction de la dynamique du véhicule. Le système est tombé en désuétude quand les directions assistées à pignon et crémaillère ont gagné en popularité. Le système Hydrosteer des années 1960 ne doit pas être confondu avec Hydrosteer Pty Ltd, une société australienne fondée en 1981 en tant que fournisseur de technologie de direction de camion lourd dans ce pays.
