In large off-road machines, a Steering Control Unit (SCU) alone may not be sufficient to supply the required hydraulic flow for steering. As machine size increases, so do the steering cylinder dimensions, which demand higher oil flow rates to operate efficiently.
The spool and sleeve mechanism in a hydraulic steering unit plays a key role in directing oil flow to the steering cylinder, ensuring smooth and precise control based on the driver’s input.
A hydraulic rock breaker (hammer) is a type of construction machinery that is mounted on excavators, backhoes, skid steers, mini-excavators, and stationary plants.
Hydraulic systems in mobile machinery often face extreme torque peaks during operation. To handle these situations, engineers traditionally select hydraulic motors based on the worst-case scenario—such as moving a machine up a steep 30-40% gradient.
Ever wondered what makes steering systems so adaptable across different vehicles? This post shows the inner workings of steering features like 2-Speed technology and Q-Amp flow amplification, showcasing how they transform vehicle control. Curious to know how they work?
Alright! In the first post on steering, we explored the components of a steering system and its design. This time, we’re diving into the different types of steering units like open center, closed center, and load-sensing systems.
For many years, mobile equipment like tractors and loaders uses unique hydraulic steering systems (also called, hydraulic power steering) to steer the machines. This unique system uses steering control unit (SCU) which is rotated by steering wheel and steering shaft.
Power beyond is a feature that might not always get the attention it deserves, but it’s a game-changer when it comes to getting the most out of your equipment.
Ever wondered how hydraulic systems stay steady under different loads? Knowing the difference between pre compensation and post compensation makes it much clearer!
Hydraulic cylinders are critical components of construction equipment, especially in harsh environments where mud, debris, and abrasive materials are present.
