The VSPP is a steering unit with integrated priority valve inside the envelope of a standard steering unit
housing.
This brings about a very compact solution minimizing installation space, cost and time.
VSPP is the perfect solution for smaller vehicles like e.g. low horse power tractors, mini wheel loaders and
light fork lift trucks, where one gear pump is in use for steering and working hydraulic.
All VSPP products are black painted as standard.
All VSPP's are High Spec. for maximum steering pressure 190 bar [2755 psi].
Load Sensing dynamic steering unit with built in priority valve, VSPP LS
The VSPP is a steering unit with integrated priority valve inside the envelope of the standard VSP
housing. VSPP LS are all of load sensing dynamictype and so the integrated priority valve is dynamic type.
Spool/sleeve sets for 2 levels of LS dynamic flow are available:
•
Standard LS spool/sleeve set: 0.6 - 0.9 l/min [0.16 - 0.24 US gal/min]
•
High dynamic LS spool/sleeve set: 1.0 - 1.3 l/min [0.26 - 0.34 US gal/min]
High dynamic is recommended, when extreme fast response is requested, e.g. when unloading working
hydraulic load (EF) very rapidly during steering. Trade off with high dynamic is slightly higher energy
consumption.
Non-reaction
VSPP’s are non-reaction steering units, where there is no movement of the steering wheel, when the
driver is not steering the vehicle. The vehicle keeps the steering direction independent of forces on the
steering cylinder.
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 VSPP LS steering unit together with the integrated priority valve spool, limits the
maximum steering pressure P-T. The pilot pressure relief valve is set at an oil flow to the P-port of the
VSPP valve of 25 l/min [6.60 US gal/min].
For VSPP load sensing dynamic steering units with standard LS spool/sleeve set, the setting values are
valid at a dynamic flow of 0.6 l/min [0.16 US gal/min].
For VSPP load sensing high dynamic steering units with low noise/high dynamic spool/sleeve set, 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].
Check valve function in LS
A170 + 5/-0 bar [2465+ 73/-0 psi]
B140 + 5/-0 bar [2030 + 73/-0 psi]
The check valve in the LS line of VSPP LS dynamic steering units 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. The need for the LS check valve is very system
dependent. It is recommended to be included in VSPP LS up to and including 200 cm3/rev sizes.

Technical Information
VSPP Steering Unit
Technical data, VSPP LS
Pressure drop, P-EF
This data comes from measurements on a representative sample of VSPP LS w. standard spool/sleeve set.
Oil with viscosity of 21 mm²/s at 50 °C [102 SUS at 122 °F] was used during measuring. Measurement
made when pressure on the LS connection is zero (steering unit in neutral position). The minimum curves
apply when the pressure on the EF connection is higher than the actual control spring pressure. The
curves for control spring pressure of 4 or 7 bar [58 or 101 psi] apply when pressure on the EF connection
is zero.
Pressure drop, P-EF, for VSPP LS w. standard dynamic LS spool/sleeve set
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.
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 selfstraightening tendencies and on articulated steered vehicles, we recommend 5-10 bar [72.5 - 145 psi]. For
further advice, please contact the Danfoss Sales Organisation.
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 valve in P
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 adaptors with 11 mm [0.43 in] minimum bore.
