How to Adjust a Hydraulic Steering Gear That's Too Heavy?
1 Answers
Steering wheel becoming heavier is most commonly caused by dirty power steering fluid. Like other automotive fluids, power steering fluid also requires periodic replacement. Below is relevant information about hydraulic steering gears: 1. Structure: The hydraulic steering gear is used to control the action of the steering hydraulic cylinder to achieve hydraulic steering; when the steering hydraulic pump stops supplying oil, it enables manual steering. The hydraulic steering gear is fixed to the steering bracket with screws and consists of a steering valve and a cycloidal gear motor. 2. Function: The hydraulic steering gear serves to amplify the force from the steering wheel's transmission mechanism and change the direction of force transmission. It is widely used in low-speed, heavy-duty vehicles such as agricultural machinery, marine equipment, garden machinery, road maintenance equipment, forestry machinery, construction machinery, and mining machinery. It allows drivers to achieve greater steering control with minimal effort, offering safe and reliable performance along with easy and flexible operation.
