Steering valve
OSP steering valve
The OSP steering unit works hydrostatically, i.e. there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel
and the wheels to be steered (articulated joint, drum, etc.). The mechanical link is replaced by hydraulic piping
and hoses between the steering unit and the steering cylinder(s).
When the steering wheel is operated, the steering unit measures the exact oil quantity proportional to the rotation
of the steering wheel. This oil quantity is directed to the steering cylinders.
The steering unit mainly comprises of a rotary spool valve and a rating pump (gear set). The steering column
connects the steering unit to the steering wheel of the vehicle. When operating the steering wheel the rotary
spool valve makes sure that oil from the steering pump is guided through the gear set to the cylinder ports L or
R, depending on the operating direction of the steering wheel. The gear set measures the oil flow to the steering
cylinder proportionally to the turning angle of the steering wheel.

The steering valve is additionally equipped with a pressure relief valve, it limits the steering pressure.
Suddenly occurring pressure peaks, which may be caused by e.g. external influences like driving against a curb
stone, are compensated by two shock valves, which are integrated in the steering valve. Each of these shock
valves is fitted with an additional anti-cavitation valve. These anti-cavitation valves protect the system against
cavitation which could be caused by the reaction of the shock valves.
A check valve inside the steering unit makes sure that the hydraulic oil cannot flow to the steering pump if forces
are introduced from outside. In such a case the steering cylinders would act as pumps and press the oil back to
the pump.
