What is a steering rotation angle of 2520° used for?
A steering rotation angle of 2520° (7 full turns from lock to lock) is mainly used for specialized vehicles and simulations with very realistic steering ratios.
Typical use cases include:
- Truck simulations, where real vehicles often have a very large steering range
- Farming and construction simulations (e.g., tractors, wheel loaders), which also use large steering angles
- Professional training or sim racing setups aiming for maximum realism in vehicle behavior
A large steering angle like this allows for very precise control at low speeds but requires significantly more steering input from lock to lock.
