The steering motor is a fixed displacement bent axis motor with an internal flushing valve that is
located in control plate (10). The motor is operated by pressure oil from the variable displacement
steering pump. Oil flow through the motor can be in either direction. A change in the direction of the
oil flow through the motor does not change the amount of output torque from the shaft of the motor.
The steering motor uses straight transfer gears to drive the planetary in the differential steer unit.

Speed sensor (2) sends electrical signals to the power train ECM. The electrical signals indicate the
direction and the speed of the rotation of the steering motor.

The following components of the motor rotate:

• Output shaft (1)

• Retaining plate (3)

• Pistons (5)

• Barrel (6)

The following components of the motor do not rotate:

• Head (7)

• Control plate (10)

• Case (11)

Oil from the steering pump flows to the steering motor. The oil flows to the inlet port in control plate
(10). The direction of the flow from the steering pump will determine the inlet and outlet ports in
control plate (10). Oil flows through the control plate to pistons (5) in barrel (6).

The spherical heads of pistons (5) are held by retaining plate (3). Retaining plate (3) is part of output
shaft (1). The other end of the pistons slip into barrel (6). The barrel rotates around pivot pin (13).
Because of the angle between the barrel and the output shaft, the pistons move in and out of the barrel
as oil is forced into the control plate from the steering pump. As a result, the rotation of the pistons
and the barrel causes the output shaft to rotate.

As the output shaft, pistons, and barrel rotate, the pistons reach the top center position (fully extended
position). At the same time, the barrel begins to overlap passage (8) in the control plate. Oil fills the
barrel. Now, the piston starts to move back into the barrel. Because the pistons move into the barrel,
the pistons push oil out of the barrel through passage (14) to the steering pump.

Flushing valve (16) is located in control plate (10). The flushing valve allows oil from the outlet side
of the steering motor to flow into the motor case. This oil cools the internal components of the motor.
Also, this oil flushes the internal components and this oil lubricates the internal components of the
steering motor.

The pressure oil in either passage (14) or (17) moves flushing valve pin (18). Low pressure return oil
flows into passage (9) through the slots in the flushing valve pin. A drilled passage in pivot pin (13)
allows the oil to flow to the pivot pin socket and on through passages to the motor bearings. The
flushing oil then leaves the motor through case drain passage (4) .

The flushing valve only allows oil flow when the machine is in a turning condition and pressure oil is
available to the flushing valve pin.
