ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a hydrostatic control unit of the metering type utilized for some automotive type power steering systems. The control unit has a valving section with inlet and outlet ports connectable to a pump and a tank and two working ports connectable to opposite sides of a bidirectional servomotor which is connectable to wheel steering linkage. A metering motor controlled by the valving section supplies and exhausts metered fluid to and from the servomotor through the two working ports of the valving section. The valving section has a single movable slide element cooperable with a stationary housing member. A gearing unit which may be of the planetary type is provided having two inputs and one output with the two inputs being connectable to the vehicle steering wheel and the metering motor input shaft and the output being connectable to the slide valve element. The steering wheel and metering motor inputs always act in opposite directions on the valve element such that a movement of the valve element away from a neutral position by the steering wheel is always followed by movement of the valve element back towards the neutral position by the shaft of the metering motor.
