The mechanical pump is driven by the engine using a belt or directly by gears.
Its function is to put the oil under pressure and push it through the pipes in the power steering, so as to make steering easier and require less effort.
R.I.P.A.S. offers a complete replacement service for mechanical and hydraulic parts and, where necessary, electrical ones (pumps with Servotronic). Each overhauled spare part is tested on special test benches that simulate its activity in the vehicle, assessing its mechanical, hydraulic and, if needed, electrical functioning.
