Sauer-Danfoss offers component
and system level steering solutions. Our product
range makes it possible to cover applications
of all types, ranging from ordinary 2-wheel steering
(also known as Ackermann steering) to articulated
steering, complicated 4-wheel steering, automatic
steering (by sensor) and remote controlled steering
via satellite.
For light vehicles
such as garden tractors, municipal vehicles, lawn
mowers or small forklift trucks, Sauer-Danfoss
offers OSPM hydrostatic steering units.
Small and medium sized
vehicles can be equipped with an OSPB,
OSPC, OSPF or OSPR steering unit. Typical applications
include tractors, harvesters, forklift trucks
and small construction machines.
Larger
vehicles such as combines, loaders and
dump trucks will typically use OSPB, OSPC or OSPF
steering units. The OSPL steering unit is particularly
suitable for where the steering flow can reach
100 l/min (26 gpm). However, for vehicles of that
size, Sauer-Danfoss has specifically designed
the OSPQ and OSPD. These steering units are designed
with variable displacement to make emergency steering
possible on even heavy machines. The unit change
automatically to the lowest displacement when
pump oil supply is unavailable.
For vehicles with a total weight exceeding 100
tons and a needed steering flow of up to 400 l/min
(106 gpm), Sauer-Danfoss has engineered the OSQ
flow amplifier.
On loaders, large forklift trucks, dump trucks,
large tractors and other heavy vehicles, there
is often a need for electrically actuated steering
in the form of a joystick or automatic steering
as alternative to the normal steering wheel mode.
For such purposes Sauer-Danfoss has created the
EHPS system.
