Low slip steering system and improved fluid controller therefor

摘要

A fluid controller (27) for use with a fluid pressure operated device (45) having an inlet (47) and an outlet (49) and defining a fluid leakage path therebetween. The controller (27) includes valving (61) defining a main fluid path and further defines a fluid bleed passage including a variable bleed orifice (AB), having a substantially zero flow area when the controller valving (61) is in its neutral position (N) and in the normal operating position (R), but beginning to open as the valving approaches its maximum displacement position (R-M).
