Abstract:
A redundant steering system comprises a primary power source; a secondary power source; first and second pumps operatively coupled to the primary and secondary power sources, respectively, to output first and second supplies of hydraulic fluid to a steering cylinder based on operation of the primary and secondary power source, respectively; first and second pairs of selector valves respectively coupled to the first and second pumps; and a charge circuit coupled to respective control inputs of the first and second pairs of selector valves to selectively supply hydraulic fluid to the control inputs of the first and second pairs of selector valves to stop hydraulic fluid from only one of the first pump and the second pump from being provided to the steering cylinder and to provide hydraulic fluid to the steering cylinder from only one of the other of the first pump and the second pump.
