System description:
! !
The ZF-Servocom RAS is a rear axle steering system which hydrostatically transmits the steering movement of the front axle to the rear axle (as in the case of a hydraulic braking system). The hydrostatic power is transmitted from the master cylinder (front axle) via hydraulic connections to the centering cylinder (rear axle).

Notes:
! ! !
This manual is exclusively intended to supplement the existing instructions for operation, maintenance and inspection of the ZF-Servocom steering systems. All the work described here should be carried out within the framework of routine maintenance and inspection of the ZF-Servocom. All the settings and test values or dimensions listed are standard values which apply for all versions. The individual vehicle manufacturers may prescribe different values. Please take note of the service information circulars and the spare parts list!

1.1 Mechanical design

ZF-Servocom Master cylinder with pressure limiting valve and replenishing vavle

3 4 5 6 7

Centering cylinder Hydraulic accumulator Hydraulic lines Pressure switch Connecting rod

1.2 Function

The steering movement is transmitted from the ZF-Servocom or front axle steering (1) mechanically via a connecting rod (7) and hydraulically via hydraulic lines (5) to the master cylinder (2) which is mounted on the front axle or vehicle chassis. The master cylinder (2) hydrostatically transmits the steering movement via hydraulic lines (5) to the centering cylinder (3) on the trailing axle. This axle is steered by the centering cylinder via the piston rod. The hydraulic accumulator (4) improves the rigidity of the hydrostatic transmission system and acts permanently on the two centering pistons which are integrated into the centering cylinder (3). Pressure limiting valves are installed in the master cylinder (2) in order to protect the hydrostatic system against impermissibly high pressures which could damage the system. The master cylinder (2) also includes replenishing valves to prevent the formation of a vacuum in the unpressurized cylinder area and thus facilitate the steering movement. The pressure switch (6) monitors the system pressure and is connected to a pilot lamp.

Additional information for versions with cut-off valve (8): The cut-off valve (8) (see figure on page 18) connects the lines L1 and L2 in case of breakdown of the hydraulic assistance of the front axle steering gear. This produces the fact that the ZF-Servocom RAS does not co-steer and that no additional actuating forces are required at the front axle steering gear.

Function
1.3 Function when travelling straight ahead

Operating pressure - front axle steering

System pressure

Accumulator pressure (gas-charged)

The master cylinder (2) is designed so that the cylinder areas Z1 and Z2 are connected when travelling straight ahead and when the steering angle is less than 5o. This ensures that the four cylinder areas Z3, Z4, Z5 and Z6 in the centering cylinder (3) are pressurized by the hydraulic accumulator (4), thus holding the trailing axle in position for travel straight ahead.

Short-circuiting cylinder areas Z1 and Z2 and centering the trailing axle additionally ensures that the master cylinder and centering cylinder (3) are synchronized. This compensates any hydrostatic offsets which may occur, for example as a result of minute leaks.

Function
1.4 Function when steering to the right

Operating pressure - front axle steering / return flow Operating pressure - front axle steering System pressure / return flow System pressure Accumulator pressure (gas-charged)

Cylinder space Z7 in the master cylinder (2) is pressurized by the ZF-Servocom or front axle steering (1) and displaces the piston rod to the right.

This pressurizes the hydraulic fluid in cylinder space Z1, as well as in cylinder space Z6 via hydraulic lines (5) if the steering angle is greater than 5o.

The piston rod of the centering cylinder (3) is consequently displaced to the left and the trailing axle is steered to the left.

Safety instructions / Maintenance

2 Safety instructions
Attention:

! !

Lines and connections, etc. must not be opened until the system pressure of the ZF-Servocom RAS has been relieved. The bleeder valves must be opened slowly to bleed the system. Note that at least the system pressure is still present in the hydrostatic system even when the engine has been switched off. The front axle steering must not be actuated when connections or lines, etc. on the rear axle steering system have been opened, since the high resultant pressures may cause injuries.

Maintenance
Maintenance intervals The maintenance intervals which apply for the ZF-Servocom steering system or which are specified by the vehicle manufacturer also apply for the ZF-Servocom RAS. Note any other or additional intervals specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

3.2

Maintenance work Check oil level ZF-Servocom RAS: The oil level cannot be checked. This is also unnecessary, since oil cannot be lost during normal operation and when the ZF-Servocom RAS is in good condition. ZF-Servocom (front axle steering): Check oil level in oil tank. If the oil level exceeds the maximum permitted, this may be due to a leak in the master cylinder.

Check for external leaks Hydraulic lines, connections, master cylinder, centering cylinder and hydraulic accumulator must be visually inspected for leaks. There must not be any visible leakage. Only the piston rods of the master and centering cylinders may be coated with a film of oil. The formation of drops is not permissible.

Check bellows Check that the bellows is seated correctly and undamaged. The bellows must not be twisted.

Inspection
!
Read off the system pressure. Required: 15 +1/-3 bar (see note on page 1). Note: If the system pressure corresponds with the required value, the accumulator pressure need not be checked as described in section 4.2.3 since it will invariably be correct in such cases.

Tighten the hexagon socket head screw with spindle A in order to close the valve. Unscrew the union nut and remove tool [1]. Tighten the hexagon socket head screw with a torque of 25 Nm and leak-test the valve with sealing spray or soapy water. Refit the cap. Tool [2]

Valve 4.2.3 Check hydraulic accumulator pressure

Connect tool [2] to connection A1. Turn the valve anticlockwise with tool [2] to relieve the system pressure. At the same time, check whether the pilot indicator installed in the cab switches at a remaining pressure of 2...5 bar. Connect tool [1] to connection A2 as described in section 4.2.2. Read off the accumulator pressure. Required: 10 +1/-3 bar (see note on page 1). Note: If the accumulator pressure does not correspond to the required value, the accumulator pressure must be increased as described in section 7 or the hydraulic accumulator replaced.

Close the valve of tool [2] by turning clockwise. Check whether the oil tank of tool [2] has been filled (oil grade see section 6.1). Build up the system pressure with tool [2] by actuating the hand pump. Required: 15 +1/-3 bar (see note on page 1). Remove tool [1] as described in section 4.2.2. Close the valve of the hydraulic accumulator as described in section 4.2.2. Remove tool [2].

4.2.4 Check cut-off valve (8) and switch relay (9)

Connect cable plug of the signal sensor (10) to earth. Steer the steering wheel so that the steering output shaft angle is bigger than 5o. The ZF-Servocom RAS must not co-steer. If the ZF-Servocom RAS co-steers, the failure must be removed - see troubleshooting.
