Hi does anyone knows how is a wheeled excavator steered? Is it a mechanical steering like other wheel loaders. Seems impossible because the excavator cab can do 180 about the undercarriage. I thought it must be hydraulically operated or skid steered, but my CAD teacher asked it to mechanically couple the wheels with the steering wheel. Haven't been able to figure out as to how to do it yet. Any suggestions?
complex factor. browse in google or bing. just that will help!
I real life, it would be hydraulic, yes. If you need to couple it mechanically, I would suggest situating a rod that displaces vertically in the centre of the turntable. Linking that up to the steering wheel from the top and the wheels from the bottom should be a doddle.
