Hydraulic Steering System: D350 Dozer

Product Overview

The D350 Dozer is equipped with an advanced hydraulic steering system designed to enhance performance and maneuverability. This system integrates both the steering and equipment control circuits into a single hydraulic framework, utilizing shared hydraulic components while maintaining independent operating pressures.

Key Features

• Hydraulic Piston Pump: Powers both steering and equipment circuits efficiently.
• Hydraulic Motor: A crucial component for circuit operation.
• Steering/Equipment Control Valve: Manages the flow and direction of hydraulic fluid.
• Steering Pilot Valves Block: Directs signals for precise steering control.
• Feed Valve Block: Ensures consistent hydraulic pressure is maintained.
• Steering Control Levers: Converts operator input into hydraulic action.
• Oil Cooler: Maintains optimal hydraulic fluid temperature.
• Control Unit (Microcontroller): Central processor that coordinates hydraulic operations.

Benefits

• Continuous Power: The steering differential allows seamless power delivery to both tracks during steering maneuvers.
• Precision and Efficiency: The system is particularly beneficial in finish dozing applications, especially in confined spaces.
• Load Sensing: Implements a steering priority logic that ensures optimal distribution of hydraulic power.

Usage Recommendations

• For optimal performance, regular maintenance of the hydraulic components is recommended.
• When operating in restricted areas, leverage the continuous power supply feature for improved maneuverability.
• Utilize the steering system’s precision capabilities for tasks requiring fine control, such as finish dozing.
