An Experimental Study on Pulsation Noise Reduction of Power Steering Oil Pump

Power Steering Oil Pump의 맥동소음 저감에 관한 실험적 연구

Power steering oil pump is generally used to support the power to steering system of most kinds of vehicle. The noise caused by power steering ell pump make passenger to be uncomfortable, because its frequency is higher than that is produced by engine. In this paper, the field test of real car was carried out to analyze the phenomenon of the pump noise, and the lab test was also performed to survey the dynamic characteristics of pump assembly. The results of the series of tests show that frequency range of 600-800㎐ should be dealt with to reduce the pump noise. After four cases of design changes were carried out to actually reduce the noise and tested in condition of partial assembly. Some improvement can be gotten from a certain design change.
