  • Remote steering system with a single rod cylinder and manual hydraulic piston pump for such a system
    Patent number: 6055809
    Abstract: A hydraulic piston pump 1 includes a distributing valve 11 having a pair of arcuate or circular ports 11a and 11b formed through it. The arcuate port 11b is shorter circumferentially than the arcuate port 11a to reduce, by a predetermined amount, the amount of pressure oil to be discharged from and sucked into the pump through it. The valve 11 also has a pair of tank ports 11c and 11d formed through it circumferentially on both sides of the shorter port 11b. The circumferential dimensions of the tank ports 11c and 11d correspond to the predetermined amount of oil.
