Steering Rotary Sensors vs. Traditional Steering Systems for Heavy Equipment OEMs
For heavy equipment OEMs, steering-system design affects far more than how an operator turns a machine. The selected system influences operator comfort, machine visibility, cab packaging, control-system architecture, component count, maintainability, and the ability to add advanced machine functions in the future. Traditional steering systems—such as mechanical steering wheels and rack-and-pinion arrangements—remain familiar and effective […]
