    摘要: A hydraulic steering unit includes a pressure port connected to a main flow path and a tank port connected to a tank flow path, and a working port arrangement having left and right working flow paths. A first bridge arrangement has first left and first right orifices connected to the main flow path and to first left or first right connecting points, respectively, each connecting point associated respectively with the left or right working flow paths, and second left and second right orifices connected to the tank flow path and to the first left or first right connecting points, respectively. A second bridge arrangement has a similar orifice arrangement connected to second left or second right connecting points. The first and second bridge arrangements have different steering characteristics. Selection means for connecting one of the bridge arrangements between the pressure port and the working port arrangement are provided.
