Turning by wheel speed difference alone — how BM3Y orbital motors and TMS03 radial piston motors handle skid steer drive duty.

A skid steer has no steering axle — it turns by running left and right wheels at different speeds. The drive motors are the steering system, so speed control precision decides how the machine handles.
Motor roles in this machine
- BM3Y — side drive: Direct-flange orbital motors give each side independent, repeatable speed control with high torque for spin turns under load. BM3 reference →
- TMS03 — heavy-frame variant: On larger frames, wheel-type radial piston motors carry the axle load in-hub while delivering smoother low-speed metering. TMS03 reference →
