A wide range of steering components
Danfoss is one of the largest producers in the world of steering components for hydrostatic steering
systems on off-road vehicles. Danfoss offers steering solutions both at component and system levels. 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, automatic steering (for example, by sensor)
and remote controlled steering via satellite. We can offer more than 1,800 different steering units and 250
different priority valves categorized in types, variants and sizes.

Load sensing
In load sensing steering systems both the steering system and the working hydraulics can be supplied
with oil from the same pump, using a load sensing pump, also delivers the potential for energy saving.
Load sensing steering units have an extra connection for load sensing (LS), so that a load pressure signal
can be directed via the steering unit to a Danfoss priority valve and/or an LS pump. The load sensing
signal controls the oil flow from the priority valve (and/or the LS pump) to the steering unit. The LS
connection is open to tank when the steering unit is in the neutral position.
Load sensing static
Load sensing static steering units require load sensing static priority valves and/or load sensing static
variable displacement pumps. Load sensing static steering systems have no oil flow in the LS connection
when the steering unit is in neutral position.
Load sensing dynamic
Load sensing dynamic steering units require load sensing dynamic priority valves and/or load sensing
dynamic variable displacement pumps. Load sensing dynamic steering systems have a constant oil flow
in the LS connection in the direction of the steering unit even when the steering unit is in neutral
position.
Reaction
With reaction steering units any external forces acting on the steered wheels result in a corresponding
movement of the steering wheel when the driver is not steering the vehicle.
Non-reaction
With non-reaction steering units there is no corresponding movement of the steering wheel when the
driver is not steering the vehicle

LS Steering Units OSPB, OSPC, OSPF, OSPD, OSPL
OSPD LS: Steering unit load sensing dynamic with 2 rotary meters and with integrated valve
functions
The OSPD has 2 rotary meters (gear wheel sets). Should the pump supply be lost, only one rotary meter
will be active: OSPD displacement will be low for emergency steering (only one rotary meter active) for
pressure P-T <3 bar. Displacement will be high for pressure P-T >5 bars: both rotary meters are active.

set and high pressure will have relatively high slippage values.

Valve functions in OSPC, OSPF, OSPD and OSPL LS steering units
Pilot pressure relief valve; (P - T, Qp) characteristic
The pilot pressure relief valve protects the steering unit against excessive pressure. The pilot pressure
relief valve in the OSPC LS, OSPF LS, OSPD LS and OSPL LS steering unit together with the priority valve
limit the maximum steering pressure P-T. The pilot pressure relief valve is set at an oil flow to the priority
valve of 25 l/min [6.60 US gal/min].
For OSPC, OSPD and OSPL load sensing dynamic steering units, the setting values are valid at a dynamic
flow of 0.6 l/min [0.16 US gal/min].
For OSPF load sensing dynamic steering units, the setting values are valid at a dynamic flow of 1.1 l/min
[0.29 US gal/min].
Setting tolerance:
</= 170 bar [2465 psi]: rated value +5 bar [72.5 psi].
> 170 bar [2465 psi]: rated value +10 bar [145 psi].
A = 170 + 5 bar [2465+ 73 psi]
B = 140 + 5 bar [2030 + 73 psi]
Shock valves
The shock valves protect the steering unit and reduce external forces on the steering cylinder by limiting
the pressure difference from L to T and from R to T.
The shock valves are set at 3 l/min [0.792 US gal/min]
At higher flow pressure peaks may occur.
The shock valves are of the direct acting type, so they react very quickly.
Setting tolerance: rated value +20 bar [290 psi].
Suction valves
The suction valves allow oil suction to avoid cavitation in the steering cylinder. To provide correct
suction, a back pressure valve must be fitted in the tank line from the steering unit.
Generally Danfoss recommend a back pressure of 2 bar [29 psi], but on vehicles with strong self
straightening tendencies and on articulated steered vehicles, we recommend 5-10 bar [72.5 - 145 psi]. For
further advice, please contact the Danfoss Sales Organization.
OSPB/C/F/D/L LS Steering Units, OLS Priority Valves, OSQ Flow Amplifiers
LS Steering Units OSPB, OSPC, OSPF, OSPD, OSPL
A connection which incorporates a check valve must be established to allow oil flow to by-pass the back
pressure valve (and filter) from the tank to steering unit. See diagram examples in sub catalogue “General
Steering Components” page 37 - 39.
Check valves
The check valve in the P connection of the steering unit protects the driver against steering wheel jerks.
The check valve prevents oil from flowing backwards into the pump line when steering against a high
pressure on the cylinder side. The pressure drop across the check valve is indicated on the following
graph, which assumes the use of port adapters with 11 mm [0.43 in] minimum bore.
The check valve in the LS line of OSPC LS and OSPD LS dynamic steering units also protects the driver
against steering wheel jerks. The check valve prevents oil from flowing backwards into the LS line to the
priority valve when steering against a high pressure on the cylinder side.
In OSPF LS oil cannot flow backwards into the LS line, look in sub catalogue: “General Steering
Components “ page 26.
