SECTION 3. FUNCTION
SHINJIN is a hydrostatic steering unit which can be used with an add-on steering column,
SHINJIN-T or with the steering column integrated with the unit.
The steering unit consists of a rotary valve and a rotary meter.
Via a steering column the steering unit is connected to the steering wheel of the vehicle.
When the steering wheel is turned, oil is directed from the steering system pump via the
rotary valve and rotary meter to the cylinder ports L or R, depending on the direction of
turn. The rotary meter meters the oil flow to the steering cylinder in proportion to the
angular rotation of the steering wheel.
If the oil supply from the steering system pump fails or is too small, the steering unit is
able to work as a manual steering pump.
SHINJIN-ON
Open center steering units have open connection between pump and tank in the neutral position.
