Uflex T71FC Single Cable Rotary Steering Helm with Planetary Gear Design
Uflex T71FC Single Cable Rotary Steering Helm with Planetary Gear Design
The Uflex T71FC is a single cable rotary steering helm built around a planetary gear design, part of the Rotech line. The planetary gear design reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel compared to conventional rotary helms. A wider wear area cuts down on lost motion and improves long-term durability, so steering stays tight and responsive over time.
The helm is centered on the main drive shaft, which means it requires less room behind the dash than many competing designs. It is built as a direct drop-in replacement for competing steering systems, so installation does not require drilling any new holes in the dash.
The T71FC package includes the M66 Universal Rotary Steering Cable, fitted with stainless steel output fittings for maximum longevity and smooth, consistent steering feel. Together, the helm and cable form a complete single cable rotary steering setup ready for installation.
