The steering valve is divided into valve and metering
installation. The control valve is composed of housing
(9), spool (2) and sleeve (5), and the metering installa-
tion is composed of the trochoid pump called as
GEROTOR (6).
1. Control valve: Control valve of rotary type is kept at
neutral by the centering spring if the valve is not
operated. It switches over the oil flow into the steer-
ing cylinder along with the GEROTOR against the
turning direction if the steering wheel is operated.
