Abstract
Power steering systems significantly improve vehicle handling by reducing the effort required at the steering wheel. While hydraulic power steering is common in production vehicles, a pneumatic version offers a clean, easily controllable alternative suitable for laboratory demonstration and educational projects.
This project designs and fabricates a Pneumatic Power Steering System that employs a double-acting pneumatic cylinder, directional control valves, pressure regulator and air reservoir. Steering input opens the appropriate valve ports, allowing compressed air to assist the mechanical linkage and reduce driver effort.
It is an ideal final-year project for Mechanical and Automobile Engineering students, combining pneumatics, linkage design, force analysis and practical fabrication skills.
