SECTION THROUGH HYDRAULIC RACK CONTROL UNIT ( OPERATING CYLINDER )
a) Hydraulic rack control unit ( operating cylinder )
The rack is connected to the hydraulic control unit ( operating cylinder )
Assume S as the piston in chamber 1, and S/ 2
its surface ( ns dcjsiguvd iu c-hmvhc 1’ 2 J.
The steering is balanced when forces F and Fl exerted on each face of the piston are equal
therefore F = S x F =Fl +x HP

Movement of the rack ( therefore, power operation ) is ensured by a change in pressure inside chamber 1, such
as
I Return of fluid to the tank -HP / 2 decreases
- Inlet of fluid -HP/ 2 increases
