GF46.20-P-1200-02A Rack-and-pinion steering damper, function

Component Identification:

Pressurized steering damper (I)
Through 4 bores in the perforated disk (5b) the high-pressure oil is lead non-derated at the non-return plate (5a) against the force of the non-return spring (5c) to one of the working cylinders.

Dampened return pressure (II)
The oil flowing out of the opposite working cylinder is forced via 4 further bores in the perforated disk (5b). This pushes up the disk spring (5d) and pumps the oil into the return line. This restricted pressure provides the required damping effect.
