Did you know 42% of hydraulic system downtime traces back to steering component failures? When your orbital steering motor suddenly fails at 15 MPH in a crowded construction site, every second of downtime costs $217 in lost productivity. The market doesn’t forgive hesitation – but we’ve engineered the solution.

While standard steering units deliver 2,500 PSI, our 3rd-gen orbital valve technology handles 4,200 PSI continuous operation. See how we eliminate pressure spikes:
Feature | Standard Units | Our Orbitrol |
---|---|---|
Flow Rate (GPM) | 15-20 | 8-30 (Adaptive) |
Response Time | 180ms | 85ms |
When Caterpillar® tested 7 major brands, our steering units showed 19% better energy efficiency and 2.3x longer seal life. Here’s why:
Whether you need 8 GPM for compact tractors or 28 GPM for mining drills, our modular design delivers:
15°-40° steering angles
Auto-return functionality
-40°F to 248°F operation
Dual-circuit safety
Shock load protection
Vibration damping tech
After installing our orbital steering motors on 47 dump trucks, Rio Tinto® reported:

A: An Orbitrol Steering Unit is a hydraulic steering mechanism used in heavy machinery to control directional movement. It combines a metering pump and valve for precise steering, commonly found in tractors and construction equipment.
A: The orbital steering motor converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical rotation, enabling wheel movement. It uses a gerotor mechanism to regulate flow, ensuring smooth and responsive steering control.
A: Orbitrol units are widely used in agricultural machinery (e.g., tractors), material handlers, and industrial vehicles requiring robust hydraulic steering systems with high torque output.
A: Symptoms include stiff steering, erratic wheel movement, or hydraulic fluid leaks. These often indicate worn internal components or contamination in the system.
A: Yes, worn seals or gerotor assemblies can typically be replaced. However, severe internal damage may require complete motor replacement for reliable operation.
A: Orbitrol systems integrate metering and valving into a compact unit, eliminating external pumps. This design improves efficiency and simplifies installation compared to traditional setups.
A: Key factors include hydraulic fluid quality, system pressure settings, and mechanical wear. Proper maintenance and contamination prevention are critical for longevity.
