Steering
Precision tube components for reliable vehicle control.
PRECISION IN EVERY DETAIL
Turning tubes into precision steering components.
Walter Henrich manufactures tube-based steering components for automotive steering systems worldwide. Steering shafts transmit steering movements, while our guide tubes provide the necessary support. Drawing on our engineers’ expertise, we develop outer tubes for greater comfort in new steer-by-wire steering systems. At Walter Henrich, we combine precision functional surfaces, formed splines and application-specific interfaces to create the ideal tube component.
