Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a hydraulically supported steering system with a steering gear, which is driven by a hydraulic piston/cylinder unit. The steering system includes a piston. The piston is axially displaced in a cylinder and divides the cylinder into two cylinder chambers. Each cylinder chamber is connected to a separate hydraulic line that serves both as pressure supply line and as return line. The hydraulic lines are also connected to a servo valve. A throttle mechanism, which features a variable flow resistance in at least one flow direction is arranged in at least one hydraulic line. The flow of hydraulic fluid through the self-regulating throttle mechanism determines the flow resistance in this flow direction, namely a higher flow resistance will occur at low flow and lower flow resistance at high flow.
