E-Steering/Steer By Wire
Looking to replace hydraulic steering with a modern, electronic solution? BSM North America designs and manufactures high-quality e-steering and steer-by-wire components for off-highway vehicles.
From concept through production, our engineers create systems that deliver precision, reliability, and long-term performance.
Electronic steering (or e-steering) replaces hydraulic systems with an electronically controlled rack-and-pinion mechanism managed by the vehicle’s onboard computer.
BSM North America designs and manufactures custom components and accessories to integrate seamlessly with your e-steering system!
Steer-by-wire represents the next generation of off-highway vehicle control. Using electrically controlled motors instead of a physical steering linkage, these systems improve efficiency and open the door for autonomous and semi-autonomous functionality.
Our engineers can design custom steer-by-wire components and accessories that deliver precise, consistent steering performance for your unique application. We offer expertise in steering solutions for agriculture, construction, military/defense, and other demanding industries.
With over 35 years of experience designing and manufacturing custom steering columns, e-steering systems, and steer-by-wire components, BSM North America is your trusted partner for off-highway vehicle innovation!
Every vehicle is different, and we engineer accordingly. Our experienced team designs custom e-steering adapters, mechanical stops, and system components to meet your exact specifications. Whether you’re upgrading an existing design or developing something new, BSM delivers a perfect fit for your machine.
All design, machining, and assembly take place right here in America. Our ISO-certified facility and experienced engineers ensure your components are built with quality, precision, and full control over production timelines.
We understand that every hour of downtime matters. That’s why we provide fast turnaround times, consistent communication, and proactive updates throughout development — so you get the steering components you need, when you need them.

Durability testing helps verify that off-highway steering components can withstand repeated mechanical loads, vibration, shock, temperature changes, moisture, contaminants, and other demanding operating conditions. Testing steering columns, actuators, joints, sensors, and related components can identify potential failure points before production. Mechanical cycle testing and electronic validation also help OEMs evaluate component performance, structural integrity, and sensor consistency throughout the intended application lifecycle.
Heavy equipment manufacturers frequently face critical delays when sourcing prototype components from overseas suppliers. This article highlights the benefits of partnering with a domestic manufacturer like BSM North America, which offers in-house engineering and fabrication to deliver custom prototypes in just 2 to 3 weeks while minimizing transit risks.
E-steering, or steer-by-wire, uses electronic sensors, controllers, and actuators to transmit steering commands instead of relying solely on a conventional mechanical connection. In construction equipment, the technology can support variable steering ratios, reduced steering feedback, flexible cab layouts, automated guidance, multiple steering modes, and remote operation. These capabilities can improve operator ergonomics, machine control, automation readiness, and energy management when properly engineered for the application.
