A flow controlling apparatus to control flow rate of working fluid discharged
from
pump apparatus to a power steering apparatus including a electric variable throttle,
a solenoid mechanism and a spool. The solenoid mechanism varies opening degree
of the electric variable throttle based on a electric signal from electric controller.
The spool slides in accordance with the differential pressure of the variable throttle
due to increase of flow rate of working fluid discharged from pump apparatus so
as to return excess working fluid to bypass passage connecting to a suction port
of pump apparatus. The flow controlling apparatus further comprising means for
increase flow rate of bypass flow to bypass passage when rotating speed of the
pump apparatus exceed predetermined value.
