DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Steering in Right Turn Position

Circuit shows steering rotary valve in right turn position, at high vehicle speed and with rapid steering corrections. The 

Servotronic transducer valve is fully open and the maximum hydraulic reaction is limited by the cut-off valve.

When the steering wheel is turned to the right, the steering rack and piston moves to the left in the piston bore. The 
valve rotor is rotated to the right (clockwise) and pressurised fluid is directed over the further opened feed fluid control 
edges and to the associated axial grooves, the radial groove and via an external pipe to the left power assist cylinder 
chamber. The pressure applied to the piston from the left power assist cylinder chamber provides the hydraulic 
assistance.

An adaptable pressure build-up is achieved by the partially or fully closed feed fluid control edges restricting or 
preventing a connection between the fluid pressure inlet and the other axial grooves connected to the radial groove.
