Precision
Rely on our sensors to pick up on the varying needs of your vehicle’s steering system.
Precision is never in question with our SASA sensor. Detecting the absolute position and speed of the steering wheel is important in variable steering ratio and closed loop set-ups where steering wheel position and steering angle have to match. Responding to the sensor’s CAN output signal, the steering characteristics of the steering system adapt to the variable steering ratio.
The sensor works perfectly with our PVED-CLS safety and steering controller, programmable PLUS+1® controllers and the entire Danfoss range of electrohydraulic steering components.

All-wheel steering is one example of how Danfoss is at the forefront of machine versatility. This helps customers getting the most out of their equipment. Electrohydraulic steering system enables operators to manually adjust the steering mode, allowing them to best match machine performance to the task at hand.

To remain competitive in today’s agricultural equipment market, OEMs are offering satellite-based, automatic steering solutions.

Our fail-safe steer-by-wire solutions allow you to remove the steering column. You can then replace it with smaller, precise steering mechanisms such as a joystick or mini-wheel.

Danfoss continues to lead the way with advanced, electrohydraulic joystick steering solutions. These offer design flexibility for you, superior machine controllability and performance for your customers.

Vario-Steer™ enhances off-highway vehicle handling by dynamically adjusting steering response to the machine’s speed - delivering precision when needed, and stability when it matters most.

Danfoss offers an exceptional hydraulic solution that effectively reduces jerky motion in articulated vehicles. By integrating wide-angle and progressive flow-amplifying technology into the Xtreme-Steer product family, Danfoss provides a smoother and more precise steering experience, resulting in enhanced overall performance and operator comfort.
Related applications

Farmers need agricultural machines that deliver the same high productivity every season. Hydraulic solutions from Danfoss ensure world-class performance from each machine, and a comfortable, stress-free working environment for their operators.

Space is limited on construction sites, and there are people working everywhere. Contractors need machines that can safely maneuver in a tight spot. At the same time they still need to be powerful enough to get the job done. At Danfoss, we deliver the components, software, and controls that enable your machines to run safely, efficiently and effectively.
