A hydraulic steering device (1) has a steering angle transmitter (2)
in communication with a steering valve (3) which, as a function of the actuation
of the steering angle transmitter (2), controls the communication between
a steering drive (11), e.g., a steering cylinder (12) with a hydraulic
pressure source (5) and a reservoir (9), and a correction device
(15). The correction device (15) provides synchronization of the
position of the steering angle transmitter (2) with the position of the
steering angle drive (11) when the steering drive (11) or steering
angle transmitter (2) is in a reference range and the position of the steering
angle transmitter (2) and/or of the steering drive (2) varies from
the reference range.
