Q

When the steering wheel is turned, oil is directed to the steering gear rams by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Telemotor system in hydraulic steering (transmitter at the wheel, receiver at the ram end) • Difference between control valves (2-way / 4-way / 6-way) and power unit types (variable displacement pumps, tilting box, floating ring) • Which component actually directs oil to the rams versus which component only creates pressure or flow

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you turn the wheel, which device responds first—is it a pump, a valve, or a telemotor element? • Which part of the system is physically located near the steering gear rams and changes the direction of oil flow to port or starboard? • Look at which answer choices describe a device that controls direction of flow rather than just changing how much oil is pumped.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to the receiving unit at the steering gear end of a hydraulic telemotor system • Eliminate any answers that mainly describe pump design (variable displacement, tilting box, floating ring) instead of a directional control near the rams • Confirm that the correct component moves in response to wheel movement and then shifts a valve that sends oil to one ram and returns it from the other
