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.
Danfoss offers:

Characteristics for EH steering systems with OSPE, EHPS, and EHi:
•
Possibility of GPS, row sensor, variable steering ratio and joystick steering
•
Possibility of manual steering even on very heavy vehicles
•
EHPS:
High steering pressure requiring smaller cylinders and flow
‒
Low pilot pressure and flow giving extremely low noise in the cabin
‒
Combined with Danfoss PVG 32 proportional valve
‒

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.
