Sauer-Danfoss offers component- and system-level
steering solutions. Our product range makes it possible to
cover applications of all types, ranging from ordinary
2-wheel steering (also known as Ackermann steering) to articulated
steering, complicated 4-wheel steering, automatic steering
(by sensor) and remote-controlled steering via satellite.
For light vehicles such as garden tractors, municipal vehicles,
lawn mowers or small forklift trucks, Sauer-Danfoss offers
OSPM hydrostatic steering units.
Small- and medium-sized vehicles can be
equipped with an OSPB, OSPC, OSPF or OSPR steering unit.
Typical applications
include tractors, harvesters, forklift trucks and small construction
machines.

Larger
vehicles such as combines,
loaders and dump trucks will typically use OSPB, OSPC or
OSPF steering units. The OSPL steering
unit is particularly suitable for equipment in which the
steering flow can reach 100 l/min (26 gpm). However, for
vehicles
of that
size, Sauer-Danfoss has specifically designed the OSPQ and
OSPD. These steering units are designed with variable displacement
to make emergency steering possible on even heavy machines.
The unit change, automatically to the lowest displacement
when pump oil supply is unavailable.
For vehicles with a total weight exceeding 100 tons and
required steering flow of up to 400 l/min (106 gpm), Sauer-Danfoss
has engineered the OSQ flow amplifier.
On loaders, large forklift trucks, dump trucks, large tractors
and other heavy vehicles, there is often a need for electrically-actuated
steering in the form of a joystick or automatic steering as
an alternative to the normal steering wheel mode.
For such purposes Sauer-Danfoss has created the EHPS system.
