Product Description
The PSC FHV-CE230 Eaton Char-Lynn Steering Control (Orbital) Valve is a premium hydraulic steering control unit designed for high-performance off-road and heavy-duty steering systems. Built on the proven Eaton Char-Lynn Series 10 platform, this steering orbital delivers precise hydraulic flow control with exceptional durability for rock crawlers, competition rigs, trail trucks, and custom hydraulic steering setups. Engineered with a massive 231CC (14.1 cubic inch) displacement, the FHV-CE230 provides excellent control for larger steering cylinders and high-load applications. With a maximum pressure rating of 4,000 PSI and a wide-walled sleeve that is 40% thicker than many industry designs, this steering orbital delivers unmatched reliability in extreme off-road conditions. PSC steering control valves are load reaction type units, allowing axle forces to return the steering wheel toward center after a turn. This feature greatly improves driver control and steering feel when operating vehicles equipped with hydraulic steering assist or full hydraulic steering systems. Designed for mid-range flow systems operating between 4–8 GPM, the PSC FHV-CE230 provides smooth, predictable steering performance while maintaining durability for competition-level off-road use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a steering orbital valve do?
A steering orbital valve controls hydraulic fluid flow between the steering wheel and steering cylinders. It converts steering wheel input into hydraulic movement, allowing precise control of hydraulic steering systems.
What displacement is the PSC FHV-CE230?
This steering control unit features a 231CC (14.1 cubic inch) displacement, making it ideal for larger steering cylinders and vehicles requiring fewer steering wheel turns lock-to-lock.
What flow rate does this steering orbital require?
The PSC FHV-CE230 is designed for systems operating between 4 and 8 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow.
Is this valve open center or closed center?
The FHV-CE230 is an open center, load reaction type valve designed for hydraulic steering systems using open center pumps.
What steering cylinders work with the PSC FHV-CE230?
PSC recommends this steering orbital for systems using larger cylinders such as PSC SC2217 or SC2228 steering assist cylinders.
