Steering Unit LAGU

  Steering unit Type LAGU Nominal sizes 125 to 320 Series 1X Nominal pressure 175 bar Maximum flow 50 L/min. Features The LAGU Steering unit is used in hydraulic steering circuits on vehicles and mobile machines that have high axal loads and maximum travel speeds 50 km/h. With the aid of a steering unit even heavy vehicles can be easily steered. By not having a mechanical connection between the steering unit and axle which is to be steered, the designer has opportunities that are not possible with conventional steeringsystems. Vehicles fitted with a LAGU unit can also be manually steered if the servo system fails. The required force is reduced by changing the ratio. Only due to this, in many cases, are the permissible limiting values complied with. In many applications a second steering pump is no longer necessary. The LAGU unit works on the principle of switching off chambers. In servo the mode the steering acts as a fully hydraulic steering without any changes to the ratios.
