3.1 Structure of steering controller
The steering controller consists of a control valve (4),
metering device (3), and relief valve (1).

3.1.1 Control valve
3.1.1.1 Structure of control valve
The control valve is a rotating spool type.
When the steering wheel is not turned, the position of
the spool (7) and sleeve (9) is kept neutral by the
centering spring (8). This causes the forming of a
"neutral" oil circuit.
When the steering wheel is turned either clockwise or
counterclockwise, the position of the spool and sleeve
changes in relation to the centering spring. This allows
the forming of a "right turning" or "left turning" oil circuit.
At the same time, the gear pump (metering device)
rotates with the spool and sends the oil to the cylinder
corresponding to the rotation of the steering wheel.

3.1.2 Metering device
3.1.2.1 Structure of metering device
Oil sent from the hydraulic pump to the steering
cylinder, passes through the metering device.
Namely, when the rotor is driven, two chambers suck in
oil due to volumetric change in the pump chambers
formed between the rotor (12) and the stator (13), while
oil is discharged from other two chambers. On the other
hand, rotation of the steering wheel is directly
transmitted to the rotor through the spool, drive shaft
(10), etc.

3.1.2.2 Function of metering device
The metering device serves to supply the steering
cylinder with oil, amount of which corresponds to the
rotation of the steering wheel. The wheels are thus
turned by the angle corresponding to the rotation of the
steering wheel.
When the engine stops or the hydraulic pump
malfunctions, the metering device functions as a
manual trochoid pump, which makes manual steering
possible.
