Hydraulic Steering Units Built for Powerful, Precise Control in Every Turn
The Hydraulic Steering Control Unit - often called an orbitrol or hydrostatic steering unit comprises a rotary valve and a rotary meter. It connects to the vehicle’s steering wheel via a steering column. When the steering wheel is turned, hydraulic oil from the system pump flows through the rotary valve and rotary meter to either port L or R, depending on the direction of the turn. The rotary meter regulates the oil flow to the steering cylinder in direct proportion to the angular rotation of the steering wheel.
Our hydraulic steering units are offered in four configurations: open-center non-reaction (ON), open-center reaction (OR), closed-center non-reaction (CN), and load-sensing (LS).
This system is primarily used in low-speed, heavy-duty vehicles, such as engineering machinery, forklifts, tractors, combine harvesters, and marine hydraulic rudders.
Key Advantages of the Hydraulic Steering Control Unit:
-
Cost-effective and reliable
-
No load feedback to the steering wheel, ensuring operator comfort
-
Manual operability even when the pump is not running
-
Low control torque for smooth, continuous operation
-
Customizable valves with various functions and pressure ratings, depending on system requirements
