UVM Torque Amplifier
The UVM steering booster is an additional hydraulic module that significantly reduces steering forces in agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles and mobile work equipment. The hydraulic assistance makes steering noticeably easier, more precise and more comfortable – regardless of vehicle weight, tyre construction or ground conditions. UVM steering boosters are ideal for older vehicles without standard power steering and for machines whose steering requires high forces due to attachments or load changes. In the LöSi® web shop, you will find powerful UVM steering boosters in various configurations for reliable retrofitting and significant improvement in steering performance.
What is a UVM Steering Amplifier?
A UVM steering amplifier (technically: torque amplifier) is a hydraulic component that acts as a link between the steering wheel (control shaft) and the steering linkage. Its task is simple but extremely effective: It multiplies the manual force applied by the driver.
Thanks to its simple but robust design, the UVM amplifier ensures up to **40 times higher output torque** than the manually input input torque. With a transmittable power of up to **1.1 kW**, it transforms stiff steering systems into comfortable systems – without complex electronics.
Advantages of Our Steering Amplifiers
Why should you struggle daily with stiff steering wheels? The UVM amplifier is the ideal upgrade for more comfort and occupational safety.
The technical added value:
- Massive Effort Reduction: Drastically reduces steering effort. Even heavy vehicles can be maneuvered precisely.
- Retrofit Solution: Perfectly suitable for **retrofitting** older vehicles that have no or too weak power steering from the factory.
- Safety: Smoother steering reactions ensure better control, especially on uneven field ground or construction sites.
- Robustness: Constructed for hard use and vibration-resistant for long operating hours.
Typical Areas of Application
The UVM torque amplifier is the economical alternative to fully hydrostatic steering in many existing machines:
- Agriculture: Older tractors, single-axle tractors, and yard loaders to be modernized.
- Municipal Technology: Road rollers and cleaning machines.
- Logistics: Forklifts without modern power steering.
- Construction: Smaller construction machinery and transporters.
Selection Criteria & Technical Data
For the amplifier to fit, the mechanical and hydraulic interfaces must match.
Check these points before ordering:
- Control Shaft: Does the spline or key of the input shaft fit your steering wheel/steering column?
- Hydraulic Supply: Is a pump available that delivers the necessary pressure and flow?
- Installation Space: Check the dimensions and mounting points on the steering column.
- Accessories: Do you need additional priority valves or adapters for the hoses?
