Description
Eaton’s patented
VersaSteer™ technology
offers operator-selectable
Metered or Quick Steering
modes at any time, with the
touch of a button or the flip
of a switch, and provides
the operator flexibility to
significantly improve the
overall steering experience.
Dual Steering Modes
Metered Steering – The
steering unit operates the
same as a traditional
hydrostatic steering control
unit. Steering (flow) is a
function of steering wheel
rotations (rpm). Metered
(gerotor) steering provides
precise, responsive, and
smooth steering.
Quick Steering –
Gerotorless (quick) steering
provides a much different
effect, enabling the operator
to put the vehicle in full lock
while only turning the
steering wheel a few
degrees. This is achieved by
hydraulically blocking the
flow of oil to the gerotor
with a shift valve. Full
steering flow can be
obtained by deflecting the
steering wheel ±45° for a
Series 10 and ±50° for a
Series 20. Operator effort is
greatly reduced during the
work cycle.
