Cylinder Damping
Description
Cylinder damping can help
smooth the steering action
of large articulated vehicles
such as loaders, scrapers,
and skidders. These vehicles
have overhanging weight
with high inertial loads. This
energy is dissipated by the
cylinder damping orifices
which bleed a small amount
of flow from the cylinder
port to tank.
Cylinder Damping has 3
different levels of
application. The number of
levels equal to the number
of Cylinder Damping (CD)
orifices. This technology is
available on Series 10,
Series 20, Series 25, and
Series 40. Not all SCUs
come with all 3 levels.
Features
Three levels engineered to
fit your application.
Benefits
• Reduces jerking motion
on medium and large
articulated vehicles.
• Available on the
following steering
control units (Series 10,
20, 25, 40).
• Damps or stabilizes
unstable systems.
Applications—
Large Articulated Vehicles
• Wheel Loaders
• Skidders
• Scrapers
