HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A VEHICLE WITH A COMMON PUMP SUPPLYING STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTIONS

DRIVE December 28, 2023

A hydraulic system includes a pump having a pump outlet, a tank configured to supply fluid to the pump, a hydraulic motor coupled to an air compressor that is configured to supply compressed air to an air brake, a steering gear having an inlet workport and an outlet workport, and a compressor bypass valve. The compressor bypass valve is selectively movable between a first position where fluid flow is provided from the pump outlet to both the hydraulic motor and the inlet workport of the steering gear and a second position where the fluid flow from the pump outlet bypasses the hydraulic motor and is supplied to the inlet workport of the steering gear.
