  • Publication number: 20030127828
    Abstract: Articulated pendulum steering for construction vehicles, in particular, for wheeled loaders which connects the front vehicle section (6) to the back vehicle section (7) in such a way that both the operator controlled steering motion and a pendulum motion between both vehicle sections (6, 7) occur. Basically, the articulated pendulum steering consists of a vertical bearing pin (2) and an almost horizontally arranged movable joint pin (8). On the vertical pin (2) a bearing ring (3′, 3″) sits both in the upper and in the lower area that is held in place by cup shaped supports (4′, 4″) which each are fitted onto one of two arms (5′, 5″) on the front vehicle section (6). Both arms (5′, 5″) extend into fork-like structural openings of the articulated pendulum joint (1). On the rearward front side of the movable joint pin (8) an extension pin (16) is fitted on which another bearing ring (9) sits.
