HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNITS TYPE XY...

/1, 2

The M+S Hydraulic Hydrostatic Steering units are used in low-speed vehicles which driving
speed does not exceed 60 km/h - such as: building machines, fork-lift trucks, harvesting
machines, off-highway equipment and others. These hydraulic units amplify the torque to the
steering wheels, with no need of hard mechanical connection.
The XY hydrostatic steering unit incorporates an axially displaced tracing valve and a metering
pump in one housing. The working liqid is supplied by a separate pump and then is directed by
the metering pump to the steering cylinders.
The XY steering unit is manufactured wiht a built-in check valves, and there is an option for a
built-in relief valve in the inlet.

HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNIT TYPE HKU.../7 - Series 2
The HKU.../7 is a "Closed Center - Non Load Reaction" hydrostatic steering unit, designed for integration into systems with
built-in hydroaccumulator, achieving minimal energy losses.
When connecting to a differential cylinder the L and R
L R ports of the steering unit must be connected as follows: L to
the greater piston area, and R - to the smaller one.
For the "Closed Center - Non Load Reaction" and "Closed
Center - Non Reaction and Load Sensing" steering units is
possible to observe Thermal Shock - condition caused when
the hydraulic system has operated for some time without
turning the steering wheel, causing the fluid in the reservoir
and the system to heet up while the steering unit is relatively
0 0
cool (i.e. there is more than 50 F [10 C] difference in the
temperature). If, under the condition of Thermal Shock, the
P T
steering wheel is turned very quickly, it is possible to expe-
"Closed Center - Non Load Reaction" rience temporary seizure and have the internal parts of the
Version 7 - HKU.../7 steering unit damaged. The temporary seizure may be
followed by a total free wheeling.

HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNIT TYPE HKU.../4PB- Series 2

The hydrostatic steering unit is available for steering medium and large sized
transport vehicles as building and agricultural machines.
HKU…/4PB works as standard steering unit with auxiliary port destined for flow
providing additional vehicles functions. When the steering wheel is not turned,
the flow will be delivered to port PB. After steering wheel has been turned a part of
flow will be deviated to the steering unit and the flow trough port PB will be
inconstant.
It is not recommended to use this unit in systems with auxiliary functions during
the vehicle steering.

HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNIT TYPE HKUQ.../4 - Series 2
HKUQ.../4 is a new series of hydrostatic steering units with an additionally
increased flow. The hydrostatic steering unit type HKUQ…/4 is available for steering
medium and large sized vehicles, allowing easy control either in servo-amplified
mode or in emergency operation.
HKUQ…/4 is an “Open Center-Non Load Reaction” hydrostatic steering in which
restrictor for amplifying factor from 1,3 to 2,5 is built-in.
In accordance with the size of the gear wheel set and amplifying factor, HKUQ…4
has the following working volume:
3 3
- from 80 cm to 200 cm for emergency operation mode (manual steering without
servo-amplifying;
3 3
- from 100 cm to 500 cm for normal operation mode ( with total flow amplifying).
-1
There is no servo-amplifying of flow if low steering speed till 10 min is applied. In
-1
steering speed increase over 20 min there is total servo-amplifying of flow. In this
mode gear wheel set flow and restrictor flow are added.

HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNITS TYPE HKU(S).../5(T)(E)(TE)- Series 2
The HKU(S).../5(T)(E)(TE) range expands the steering units family of M+S Hydraulic with
the "Closed Center - Non Reaction and Load Sensing Outlet" version (static hydraulic
connection to the priority valve).
This range is manufactured in two versions; for modularly and pipe mounting and
therefore were developed the two versions of priority (tracing) valves: PRD... and PRT...
HKU.../5 is designed to be connected with priority valves with built-in relief valves for
rated flow up to 160 l/min.
The control hydraulic circuits of the HKU(S).../5(T)(E)(TE) steering units were designed to
ensures minimal energy consumption (energy losses) in various hydraulic systems such as
those of: fork-lift trucks, agricultural and construction machines and others.
The HKUS.../5E and HKUS.../5TE are equipped with an electrohydraulic relay,
mounted in the EL port, which supplies signal to the electric - control system. The relay can
be pre-set to normally - open (N.O) or normally - closed (N.C) contacts, with control
range from 0,1 to 50 bars. Upon customer's request the relay could be supplied with
another type of fixing thread.
*For operation in condition of Thermal Shock see the notes on page 6.

VALVE BLOCKS FOR HKU AND XY TYPE BKH...
The M+S Hydraulic BKH valves are developed to protect the
components of the hydraulic circuit: pumps, steering units and
cylinders - from overloads, impacts and cavitation. Some of their
advantages are: easy integration into any hydraulic circuit, easy
mounting to the steering unit, and quick and easy hose connections.
Depending on the design and the built in valves the BKH valves can be
divided into 6 types: BKH1 ... BKH5 and BKHR, with BKH5 designed
for XY steering units only. The maximum flow rate is in compliance with
the whole range of HKU and XY steering units but no more than 80
l/min. The pressure settings for the entry relief valves and the shock
valves are given in the table.

PRIORITY VALVES FOR HKUS.../5... TYPE PR...
The Priority Valves distribute and trace the hydraulic flow from the supply pump of the
hydraulic system to the hydraulic components which control and run the vehicle.
The Priority Valves are used only with the HKUS.../5(E)(T)(TE) hydrostatic steering units.
When connected, the steering unit and the priority valve represent sophisticated hydraulic
tracing system that controls the flow in both main pipelines of the hydraulic system (the
working and control one) at any time of its operation.

As a static signal, the "LS" signal must be used in systems with circuit stability. The
connection between the PRT, PRTA priority valves and the HKUS.../5T(TE) steering units
has to be as short as possible, but should not exceed 1,5m (for iron pipe with ø4
internal diameter). When a rubber hose is used this length have to be even shorter.

TORQUE AMPLIFIERS TYPE UVM... - Series 2

The M+S Hydraulic UVM Torque Amplifiers amplify the applied torque to the control
shaft and thus ease the running of various transport vehicles such as:
-agricultural and wood working machines;
-road rollers and road cleaning machines;
-fork-lift trucks and construction machinery;
The totally transferred power in terms of output torque is up to 1,1 kW.
The UVM torque amplifiers with their simple design, consisted of a pump and an
amplifier, ensure 40 times higher output torque than the applied one. The amplifying is
achieved as follows; by rotating the input shaft to the left or right the spool and the bushing
are displaced, and the hydraulic flow enters the system turning the gerotor set, which
transfers the already amplified torque to the output shaft.
One advantage of the UVM torque amplifier is that it allows manual steering in cases of
engine (pump) failure.

STEERING COLUMNS TYPE KK...
The M+S Hydraulic KK Steering Columns transfer the torque from the steering wheel of the
vehicle to the HKU, HKUS or other of the same class steering units. The KK steering columns are
consisted of a pipe in which is centred the control shaft.

MOUNTING

The KK steering column is hard-mounted to the steering unit by its welded flange using four
screws M10 at minimal depth 10 mm fitted in the steering unit with tightening torque of 2
daNm.

Permissible loads on the steering column are as follows:

Max. torque applied to the
steering wheel 24 daNm
Max. bending moment 20 daNm
Max. axial load 100 daN

The steering column must be additionally supported when the length L exceeds 150 mm.
