Trail-Creeper Orbital Steering Control Valve | Full Hydraulic Steering
Take total control of your steering with the Trail-Creeper Orbital Steering Control Valve. Specifically engineered for full hydraulic steering systems, these valves provide the precision and reliability needed for extreme rock crawling and high-speed off-road maneuvers. Each unit features a built-in Return-to-Center function, ensuring that when the driver releases the steering wheel, the tires automatically return to the centered position-greatly reducing driver fatigue and improving predictability on the trail.
Key Features
- Return-to-Center Functionality: Provides a natural steering feel by automatically centering the tires when the wheel is released.
- Open Center Design: Engineered as an "Open Center" orbital, allowing for smooth oil flow and compatibility with most high-performance off-road power steering pumps.
- Precision Control: Offers consistent steering response across various speeds and terrains.
- Robust Construction: Built to handle the high pressures and environmental demands of dedicated off-road competition.
Choosing the Right Orbital:
The number of steering wheel turns from lock-to-lock is determined by the displacement of your orbital valve paired with your hydraulic ram. Use the chart below to find your optimal combination.
| Orbital Rating (ml/rev) | 6-Inch Ram |
| 100 (6.1 c.i.) | 2.7 Turns |
| 125 (7.6 c.i.) | 2.2 Turns |
| 160 (9.8 c.i.) | 1.7 Turns |
-Note: Recommended combinations for optimal steering speed and leverage are indicated in bold.
