Hydraulic Steering System

Overview | Mechanical Steering System | Hydraulic Steering System

Type of Hydraulic Steering System

You will need to determine the total Volume for the Drive Cylinders of your Hydraulic Steering system - refer to the chart below:

Total Cylinder Volume Drive Type
Up to 30.5 cu.in. Adjustable Flow Reversing Pumps
Up to 57.75 cu.in CRA Pumps
Up to 200 cu. in. CRB Pumps

Notes:

  • Drive Type recommendations are based on hard over times of a max. of 15 seconds - refer to Pump Application Guide for complete details.
  • Dual/Multiple Cylinder Installations.  It is important to know if your cylinders are plumbed in Series or Parallel
  • Series - two cylinders are plumbed to give the effect of only one cylinder (in this case the total volume is equal to only one cylinder)
  • Parallel - two cylinders work independently of each other (total volume is the volume of each cylinder added together)
