The steering wheel is fixed on top of the steering column, which transmits the movement of the steering wheel to the steering mechanism. In the steering mechanism, the gear rack, depending on the turn of the steering wheel, moves to the right or left. The tie rods attached to the rack carrier transmit the steering force to both wheel bearing housings and hence to the wheels.
The rack and pinion control is easily movable and is backlash-free from lock to lock. It does not require repair. It is only necessary to check the tightness of the sealing cuffs.
Steering gear for machines with a 5-cylinder engine (for 4-cylinders as an option) lightened by hydraulic power steering. Hydraulic power steering (servo control) provides the minimum force applied to the steering wheel of the machine.
The power steering consists of an oil pump, a reservoir and oil pipelines. The pump is driven by a toothed belt. The pump draws hydraulic oil from the reservoir and delivers it at high pressure to the valve body. The valve is located in the steering gear. It is mechanically connected to the steering column and distributes the oil, depending on the turn of the steering wheel, to the corresponding slave cylinder. Oil presses on the piston of the gear rack and thereby transmits the movement of the steering wheel. At the same time, the piston pushes the oil from the other side of the working cylinder, through the return groove of the shut-off valve, through the return line back into the storage tank.
Attention! Welding and straightening work on the components of the steering is unacceptable.
