Orbital Steering System
• The Orbital SCU is a rotary servo
valve connected to a gerotor.
• The steering is fully fluid linked,
therefore there is no mechanical
connection between the steering
wheel and the steered wheels or
articulation joint.

Analysis Objective
• To evaluate the steering performance of the vehicle at the
conceptual design stage.
Analysis scope:
To virtually simulate the primary functions and observe the
response of machine for performance parameters like:
Steering Cycle times
Metering Performance
Multifunction Analysis
Flow Priority to steering

Assumptions
• The analysis is performed assuming the vehicle is stationary.
• The friction factor for tire road interaction is assumed for this
analysis.
• Inertia values between the spool and sleeve and other components
are assumed for this analysis.
• Centering spring stiffness values are assumed for this analysis.

Orbital Steering Mechanism
• Orbital steering mechanism has complex
components like Spool, Sleeve, centering
springs & gerotor assembly.
• The deflection angle between the spool
and sleeve causes the orifices to open.
• Spool and sleeve are held at Neutral
position by Centering Springs.
• Flow amplification is provided for faster
steering requirement, which by passes the
flow to the actuator.
• When steering input ceases, the centering
springs bring spool to neutral position.

Steering Model in Simscape
• Steering control unit components like
spool sleeve and gerotor are
modeled.
• It is challenge to model interaction
between the spool sleeve and gerotor
to be modeled in simscape.
• Operator input is converted to
spool/sleeve rotation.
• Mathematical model of steering
control unit and the steering
cylinders are developed in simscape.
• Analysis is performed by integrating
Steering unit subsystem is integrated
with full vehicle level model. Fig 3: Subsystem View of Simscape Model

Steering Model in Simscape
• Steering Mechanism of the articulated
machine is modeled using Sim-
Mechanics.
• The front and rear part of the vehicle
is modeled as lumped mass. Inertia,
Mass and CG Properties are assigned
to it.
• Front and Rear end are connected
together through hydraulic cylinders
which exerts force to articulate the
machine.
• Tire models have been developed and
used in this model to load the
steering linkage mechanism.

Results & Summary
• Steering cycle times are evaluated for different
Steering inputs and correlated with the physical
test results.
• Steering performance of the machine is virtually
evaluated for different engine speeds.
• Pressure and flow to the steering cylinders can
be determined for various operator commands.
• The model once developed can be used for
evaluating effect in change of various
parameters.

Conclusions
• With such kind of advanced virtual simulation, lot of early design
stage activities can be eliminated.
• The results obtained provides not only basis for evaluation of
steering system performance but also for enhancement of design.
• Virtual simulation of the model reduces the cost and time
associated with the design and physical testing significantly.
• Field Issues can resolved at early stage.
• Virtual verification reduces the risk for introduction of new
products.
