Abstract
A control device (1) for a hydrostatic steering motor comprises supply and return pump and tank connections (P, T), a slide valve arrangement in which inner and outer slide element sleeves are rotatable relative to each other to both sides of a neutral position through a limited small angle, said sleeves mutually forming controlled supply and return passages connected to said motor having supply and return throttles which are closed when said sleeves are in a neutral position, bypass throttle means (7) between said pump and tank connections (P, T) being open when said sleeves are in a neutral position, said bypass throttle means (7) having a set of at least two variable orifices connected in series. In such a device the noise should be reduced when a higher supply pressure of hydraulic fluid is used.
