Product Description
Upgrade your hydraulic steering system with the PSC FHV-CE160 Eaton Char-Lynn Steering Control (Orbital) Valve 159cc / 9.73ci. Built for serious off-road performance, this PSC steering control unit delivers precise hydraulic steering control for rock crawlers, competition rigs, custom trucks, and heavy-duty off-road builds. Designed using the trusted Eaton Char-Lynn Series 10 architecture, the FHV-CE160 provides exceptional durability and smooth steering response even under extreme load conditions. The 159cc displacement design provides an excellent balance between steering response and steering wheel effort, making it ideal for mid-range flow hydraulic steering systems. Featuring a load-reaction design, the valve allows axle forces to help return the steering wheel to center after a turn for improved driver control and stability. With a rugged 4,000 PSI pressure rating and thicker internal sleeve construction, the PSC Char-Lynn valve is engineered to withstand demanding off-road steering loads and hydraulic pressures while maintaining smooth, consistent steering performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PSC FHV-CE160 steering orbital valve do?
This valve controls hydraulic fluid flow in a full hydraulic or steering assist system. It converts steering wheel input into hydraulic pressure that moves the steering cylinder.
What steering systems is this orbital valve designed for?
The PSC FHV-CE160 is commonly used in off-road hydraulic steering systems including rock crawlers, trail rigs, and custom fabricated 4x4 steering setups.
What is the advantage of a load reaction orbital valve?
Load reaction valves allow axle forces to help return the steering wheel to center after turning, improving steering feel and driver control.
What steering cylinder size works best with this valve?
The 159cc displacement is typically paired with mid-range steering cylinder sizes and systems running 4-8 GPM flow rates.
Is this orbital valve suitable for rock crawling?
Yes. PSC steering valves are widely used in rock crawling and competition off-road vehicles due to their high pressure rating and durability.
