Steering Unit | Type LAGC
- Nominal sizes: 50 to 630
- Component series: 1X and 2X
- Nominal pressure: 175 bar
- Maximum flow: 63 l/min
Features:
LAGC steering units are used in hydraulic steering circuits of vehicles and mobile machines with large axle loads and travel speeds not exceeding 50 km/h.
- With the aid of a steering unit even heavy vehicles can easily be steered. The absence of a mechanical connection between the steering unit and steering axle allows the designer to realize solutions, which would be impossible with conventional steering systems.
- The steering unit includes all valves required in the hydraulic steering circuit for the protection of the steering unit and the steering cylinder. This eliminates the need for additional pipework.
- If the hydraulic pump fails, vehicles can also be steered manually with the help of the LAGC; in this case, the LAGC acts as a hand pump for the steering cylinder.
Steering Unit | Type LAGL
- Nominal sizes: 500 to 1000
- Component series: 1X
- Nominal pressure: 175 bar
- Maximum flow: 80 l/min
Features:
- LAGL steering units are used in hydraulic steering circuits of vehicles and mobile machinery with great axle loads and travel speeds up to max. 50 km/h.
- With the help of a steering unit, even heavy vehicles can be easily steered. The absence of a mechanical connection between the steering unit and the steering axle allows the designer the implementation of solutions that would not be feasible with conventional steering systems.
- The steering unit includes all valves that are required in the hydraulic steering circuit for the protection of the steering unit and steering cylinders, which renders additional pipework unnecessary.
- The control valve is optimised for large nominal sizes. When compared with type LAGC, pressure losses were reduced.
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 axial loads and maximum travel speeds of 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 the axle which is to be steered, the designer has opportunities that are not possible with conventional steering.
- 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.
Steering Unit | Type LAGZ
- Nominal sizes: 125 to 300
- Component series: 2X
- Nominal pressure: 175 bar
- Maximum flow: 50 l/min.
Features:
LAGZ steering units are used in hydraulic steering circuits of vehicles and mobile machines with large axle loads and travel speeds not exceeding 50 km/h.
- With the aid of a steering unit even heavy vehicles can easily be steered. The absence of a mechanical connection between the steering unit and the steering axle allows the designer to realize solutions, which would be impossible with conventional steering systems.
- In the event of a failure of the power assistance, vehicles can also be steered manually with the LAGZ. The required force is reduced by changing the transmission ratio. In many cases, only this feature makes it possible to adhere to the permissible limit values. A second steering pump is in many cases superfluous.
- In the power-assisted mode, the LAGZ operates with two rotor sets. In an emergency operation, one rotor set is switched off. This allows optional combinations (transmission ratios) within rotor set series
