Jastram Steering Systems offer high quality, precision components carefully matched by design to ensure long service life and exceptional performance in all operating conditions.  We manufacture a full product range and offer one source responsibility for your steering system.

Overview of the Modular System Concept

Jastram has developed a modular concept to assist our customers in understanding the component groups forming a steering system. This modular consideration ensures that the system equipment meets customer requirements and describes the system characteristics - from simple manual hydraulic steering for small boats through to sophisticated electro-hydraulic power steering with accessories for large ships. A marine hydraulic steering system in any configuration except its most basic, manual form (Manual hydraulic steering does not include hydraulic power units) is built up from four main product modules or groups: Control system Motor starter & alarm system Hydraulic power unit(s) Hydraulic steering gear
