Technology: Wide Angle
Steering units with wide angle features have been developed to significantly reduce or eliminate the jerky motion of vehicles with articulated steering systems. This has been accomplished by increasing the maximum deflection of the spool relative to the sleeve. Increasing the deflection reduces the gain. This in turn reduces acceleration and jerk levels and provides overall smoother vehicle performance.
The steering still responds fast enough so the operator does not notice the reduced gain.

- Minimizes jerking motion on medium and large articulated vehicles.
- Jerk reducing valves and accumulators can be eliminated on most vehicles.
- Available on Series 10, Series 20, and Series 25
- Articulated Vehicles such as wheel loaders and dumpers
