The invention relates to a steer-by-wire
steering system comprising a
hydraulic control unit that acts on the steerable wheels (1, 20), the
control unit having at least one cradle (4, 23), which is displaceably mounted on at least one guide rod (5, 24) that passes through the respective cradle (4, 23). The respective cradle (4, 23) and the corresponding guide rod(s) (5, 24) form working chambers (A11, A12, A21, A22) of a
piston-cylinder
system, whereby each respective guide rod (5, 24) has at least one channel (KA11, KA12, KA21, KA22), each terminating in the vicinity of a working chamber (A11, A12, A21, A22). The cradle or cradles (4, 23) adjust the steerable wheels (1, 20) directly or by means of steering tie rods (2, 21).
