TAS Series

TAS Series Power Steering Gear

Engineered for medium and heavy duty vehicles operating on and off the highway, TAS Series Power Steering Gears from TRW feature unrivaled torque output and performance, positive steering control and responsive handling.

 

Meeting Every Torque Demand

TRW’s TAS Series is designed to meet the needs of Class 5-8 heavy duty vehicles. With six readily available models, these gears can accommodate torque demands for a variety of steering systems. And optionally available RCS assist gears provide extra power for severe heavy duty applications.

 

Designed to Run Cool and Comfortable

In line with more than a century of industry-leading innovation, the rotary valve design of TRW’s TAS Series gives you a quality, comfortable steering feel and the reliability of lower operating temperatures.

 

Long-Lasting and Easy to Install

The TAS Series Power Steering Gears from TRW use automatic poppets, providing both ease of installation and a standard automatic bleed system to improve steering performance and increase system life.
