Abstract

See full text

A multi-axle steering system which is intended for vehicles has a steering gear (4) for a first steering axle (1) and hydrostatic steering for a second steering axle (2). A master cylinder (11) is disposed on the first steering axle (1) and a slave cylinder (23) on the second steering axle (2). The work chambers (12, 13; 24, 25) of the master cylinder (11) and the slave cylinder (23) are connected with each other by pressure lines (26, 27) and in this way together constitute the hydrostatic steering. A centering device (34) for a return of the steered wheels of the second steering axle (2) into their straight-ahead running position is provided on the second steering axle (2). A device (38) on the master cylinder (11) is used for automatic synchronization of the steered wheels of the first steering axle (1) and the second steering axle (2), by means of which a connection can be made only between the two work chambers (12, 13) of the master cylinder (11) in the straight-ahead running position and an adjacent small area.
