Steering



The steering consists of a steering wheel, steering column, steering mechanism and tie rods. For ease of operation of the vehicle steering wheel is adjustable in height by 28 mm in the longitudinal direction and 50 mm.

The steering wheel is fixed to the steering column and transfers effort on gear rack gear.

The pump delivers oil from a tank to a high pressure valve located in the steering gear. The valve is mechanically connected to the steering shaft and delivers the oil depending on the steering wheel to the respective side of the working cylinder. Oil pressure on the piston of the rack and thereby supports the movement of the steering wheel. Simultaneously, the piston pushes the oil from the other side of the working cylinder through the return line back to the expansion tank.
