steering cylinder

And most important, the steering cylinder is located in a protected area in the wheel well.

This approach has eliminated the requirement for belt drives which slip or break and steering cylinders that require maintenance.

L&S manufacture a variety of heavy-duty hydraulic steering cylinders that are renowned world wide for their quality and reliability.

The Company is "ABS type" approved in both design and manufacturing of steering cylinders.

Cylinder Types Auto Pilot pumps are designed to operate with a balanced hydraulic system where there is a similar volume of oil on each side of the steering cylinder.

The SM's steering cylinder has the piston on the end of the rod, which rod's cross-sectional area is half the area of the other side of the piston.

In the event of a power source failure, hydraulic oil is automatically pumped directly from the steering helm into the servo and steering cylinder, providing the helmsman with manual back-up steering.

In October 2005, Sergeant O’Keefe, a flight engineer (FE) on the CP-140 Aurora, was conducting an external pre-flight inspection when he noticed a crack on the nose wheel steering cylinder nut.

For mechanically steered systems, there is the choice of replacing the existing helm with one that contains a steering drive, controlled by the pilot computer, or installing a remote system that attaches to the existing steering cylinder.

A manual hydraulic steering system consisting of a standard SeaStar helm and a hydraulic steering cylinder, (fitted with an integral servo cylinder and a power steering valve) supplies the "control" portion of the power steering system.
