This article describes the Dana intelligent Twin Steering System designed for mobile vehicles with two steering axles (i.e. with four steering wheels). Current vehicles with four-wheel steering function are typically equipped with a hydraulic configuration where the two steering cylinders are connected in series. This type of connection highlights some limitations on available power, steering comfort and enabling advanced working functions. Dana evolved this type of hydraulic configuration introducing the possibility to disconnect the rear axle from the front one. In this way the rear axle, through the electronic control of its valve block, allows to improve the steering system performance and introduces advanced steering functions compared to the conventional steering systems.
