Product Description
The PSC FHV-CE185 Eaton Char-Lynn Steering Control (Orbital) Valve is a premium hydraulic steering control unit engineered for precision steering performance in full hydraulic or hydraulic assist steering systems. Built using the proven Eaton / White Drive Series 10 platform, this orbital valve delivers smooth steering control, exceptional durability, and consistent flow management for off-road trucks, rock crawlers, and high-performance steering conversions. Featuring a 185CC / 11.3 cubic inch displacement, the FHV-CE185 is ideal for mid-range flow hydraulic steering setups. Its load-reaction design allows axle forces to return the steering wheel toward center once the driver releases the wheel, improving steering feel and vehicle control. The heavy-duty wide-wall sleeve construction and high pressure rating make it capable of handling extreme off-road steering loads while maintaining smooth and predictable steering response. This PSC steering control valve includes -6AN ports and fittings for easy installation and integration with PSC hydraulic steering assist cylinders and full hydraulic steering systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an orbital steering valve do?
An orbital valve controls hydraulic flow to the steering cylinder in a full hydraulic steering system. It translates steering wheel movement into hydraulic pressure that moves the steering cylinder.
What displacement is the PSC FHV-CE185 valve?
This valve has a displacement of 185CC (11.3 cubic inches), which determines the amount of steering cylinder movement per revolution of the steering wheel.
What type of steering systems use this valve?
The FHV-CE185 is commonly used in full hydraulic steering systems and hydraulic assist steering setups found in rock crawlers, off-road trucks, and custom 4x4 builds.
What is a load reaction steering valve?
A load reaction valve allows axle forces to help return the steering wheel toward center when the driver releases it, improving steering feedback and stability.
Does the PSC FHV-CE185 include fittings?
Yes. The valve includes -6AN fittings for quick installation into PSC hydraulic steering systems.
