The Eclipse 322 Surpasses All Greens Mowers in Performance and Technology
The Eclipse 322 is the next generation greens mower with exclusive features that make it the
most technologically advanced ever. Its leading technologies
include a “Steer-by-Wire” Steering System. Steer-by-Wire
eliminates the need for mechanical links, cables, hydraulic
hoses, and other common steering components.
Input Device: Monitors steering wheel direction and speed, which is
communicated to the steering control unit. The input device also provides dynamic
steering feedback to the operator, mimicking the feel of a hydraulic or cable-
operated steering system.
Steering Control Unit (SCU): Monitors all components of the steering system,
including the input device, proximity switches, and steering motor. The steering
control unit also provides variable steering ratios dependent on machine mode
(Mow or Transport).
Steering Motor: Receives input from the steering control unit to turn the steering
fork via a chain.
Steering Fork & Chain: Houses rear wheel and tire assembly and connects the
steering motor to the rear wheel.
PTO Switch: Enables variable steering ratios dependent on machine mode.
Proximity Switches: Communicate steering fork positioning information to the steering control unit.
