Abstract
A hydraulic steering arrangement for vehicles is proposed, with a steering motor, a flow amplifier in fluid connection therewith, which amplifies a fluid flow measured by a steering measuring device, at least one sensor, which determines a performance characteristic of the vehicle, and a control device, which changes the amount of fluid supplied to the steering motor in dependence on an output signal of the sensor. In a steering arrangement of that kind, it is intended to correct or adapt the steering behavior to the operational status of the vehicle using simple means. For that purpose, the control device changes the amplification factor of the flow amplifier.
