Hydraulic steering is in a variety of industries from agriculture, construction, earth moving, forestry, material handling,
marine, and mining. With the assistance of hydraulics, these systems can provide tremendous steering power with
very little effort. The systems are reliable, flexible and easy to operate. White Drive Products offers many of the
major components needed in a hydrostatic steering system. Among these are the steering unit (SU), priority valve
(PV), manifold blocks, steering columns and steering wheels.

The PV Series priority valve distributes fluid from the pump source to in the hydraulic system to the other compo-
nents in the circuit that controls the movement of the vehicle. The priority valve’s function is to allow hydraulic flow
to certain components within a hydraulic system when the pressure is greater than or equal to a specified level.
The priority valve gives priority to certain components over less critical components. For example, in a 3000 psi,
hydrostatic steering system, a 2000-psi priority valve may be installed such that components downstream of the
priority valve are only supplied hydraulic pressure when the pressure in the system is above 2000 psi. Below 2000
psi, the priority valve will be closed.
When both the SU and PV are used together they provide a tracking type system that controls fluid flow in both the
supply and return lines through the hydraulic steering circuit at all times during operation of the vehicle.

Open Center - In this neutral circuit, the pump (P) and tank (T) ports are connected in the neutral position. This
simple design is widely used in small vehicle applications and uses a fixed displacement pump.
• Non-Reaction
Cylinder ports are not connected to the
rotorset in the neutral position. With
non-reaction steering units,there is no
corresponding movement of the steering wheel
when the driver is not steering the vehicle.

Load Sensing - Load sensing steering units can provide a load pressure signal to a priority valve which, in turn,
will control the oil flow distribution accordingly, resulting in greater efficiency. Load sensing steering units can be
further divided into static and dynamic based on signal type.
FEATURES:
• The steering and auxiliary circuit do not interfere with each other. Make sure steering flow is priority when
steering and auxiliary circuit work at same time. A small amount of flow passes through SU when the
deflection valve is in the neutral position which cuts down energy loss.
NOTES:
Pump - Use either a fixed displacement, pressure compensated, or a pressure and flow compensated pump.
When using fixed displacement pump the EF circuit must use an open center system. When using a pressure
compensated or pressure and flow compensated pump the EF circuit must use a load sensing or closed
center system.
Load Sensing Steering Unit - Uses either a static or dynamic signal. Different applications require different
signal types. The application must be fully understood when determining the use of either a static or dynamic
signal.
Priority Valve - Must meet the pumps maximum flow requirement. Choose the proper control pressure to
ensure the load sensing steering unit promptly receives the priority flow. Static priority valves should match
static load sensing steering units. Dynamic priority valves should match dynamic load sensing steering units.
System Relief Valve - If a system relief valve is utilized, the system relief valve pressure setting needs to
exceed the relief valve pressure in the steering system.
Load Sensing - Stable energy efficient systems widely used in conventional applications. The LS pilot line should
not exceed 2 meters [6 feet] in length.

Flow Amplification - Design based on the load sensing steering unit which incorporates a device to achieve higher
flows. During normal operation, when the speed is less than 10 rpm, the displacement determines the amount
of oil needed to make one revolution. When the speed is between 10 and 40 rpm, the flow amplifier gradually
increases the displacement. When speeds exceed 40 rpm, the displacement is at it’s amplified displacement.

shock valve
Shock valves protect the steering unit by limiting the pressure difference from lines L and R returning to tank when
external forces cause the cylinder to see higher pressure than is provided by the pump. The shock valves are
direct acting, respond quickly and set at 2 lpm [0.5 gpm].
suction valve
The suction valve allows oil to be pulled from the tank to stop cavitation in the steering cylinder. To ensure proper
function and correct suction a back pressure valve needs to be fitted in the tank line.

SL
Balanced Cylinder
Double acting – balanced, this type cylinder has
equal volume creating a balance volume and force.
Cross Connected
Set of double acting - differential, this type uses
two differential cylinders with like volume and area
cross connected to balance force.

Steering wheel revolutions
Cylinder Volume The steering wheel revolutions “lock to lock” is differ-
V = Volume (cm3 or in3) ent for each application with revolution varying 3 to 5.
V = SL “stroke length” (cm or in) x A “area” This indicates the revolutions of the steering wheel full

D = V ÷ Nr
Q = D x rpm ÷ K
