The Steering Wheel is an integral component of heavy machinery. It is a circular control device, usually made of durable materials, which allows operators to change the direction of the machine. The primary function of a steering wheel in heavy machines is to enable the operator to change the direction of the vehicle. By turning the wheel left or right, the operator can control the angle of the front wheels or tracks, which, in turn, determines the machine's course. Steering wheels are connected to the machine's steering system, allowing for precise and responsive control.
Attributes:
• Feature ergonomic grips with textured surfaces to ensure a secure hold, even in challenging working conditions.
• Built to withstand rugged environments, extreme temperatures, and constant use.
Applications:
The Steering Wheel is located inside the operator's cabin or control center, positioned directly in front of the operator's seat. It is connected to the vehicle's steering mechanism, which may involve mechanical linkages or hydraulic systems, depending on the type of heavy machine. The position of the steering wheel ensures that the operator has a clear view of the surroundings and can easily reach and control the wheel while operating the machine.
