Steering Control Units—Series 20

Product Description

The Series 20 steering control unit continues Eaton’s tradition • Mining Trucks
of innovative design and high quality that began with the first • Transporters
fluid linked power steering system.
• AG Tractors
You can count on this steering unit to provide the same
smooth, predictable steering as the Char-Lynn steering units
that provide dependable, trouble-free steering on applications
around the world.
• Provides much smoother steering function by minimiz-
ing jerky motion on articulated vehicles.
• Jerk-reducing valves and accumulators can be eliminated
on most vehicles, providing customer savings through
fewer components required and reduced system cost.
• Symmetrical valving provides passageways and valv-
ing that are equally placed, and pressure areas that are
staged for minimum internal leakage. This results in
balance, precise servo response and uniform left or right
steering action.
• Eaton’s high capacity gerotor provides ample fluid
displacement from an even more compact unit than was
previously offered.
• A thicker sleeve design provides stability, especially dur-
ing pressure and thermal transient conditions. SPECIFICATIONS
• The seal and centering spring designs provide positive, Max. System Pressure 241 bar [3500 PSI]
