electric and hydraulic

[edijs]

ok, so what's the real difference between electric and hydraulic steering enforcers?

P.S. electric seems to be the cheap one of them. but what is the technical difference?

 

[RHochstenbach]

Hydraulic uses the pressure of a liquid, while electric uses magnetics.

Is there such a thing as electric steering? Where?

Mazda:2009 MAZDA RX-8: FURTHER EVOLUTION FOR THE ROTARY REVOLUTION

Its like the 20th paragraph, Electronically assisted rack and pinion.

An electric rack-and-pinion power-steering system transmits just the right amount of road information back to the driver. Mazda engineers have chosen to pursue their own path by using an electric motor for steering assistance rather than a conventional power-steering pump. The electric motor provides additional assistance at low speeds to ease parking and reduces steering assistance at higher speeds to provide greater road feel, responsiveness and feedback. And, in keeping with the rest of the development on RX-8, it is far lighter and easier to package than a conventional power-steering rack.
