A precision proximity (inductive) sensor 701/60076, a key component of the steering system in JCB telehandlers. It is responsible for detecting the position and angle of the wheels. This information is essential for wheel positioning systems and selecting steering modes (e.g., 2-wheel, 4-wheel, crab steer). The sensor has a 750 mm long cable and a distinctive square 3-pin plug, ensuring full compatibility.

When replacing the sensor, we recommend checking the condition of the electrical harness it connects to, as well as other positioning sensors on the steering axles.
Failure of the wheel steering sensor leads to a loss of information about wheel position. This can result in the inability to engage or disengage steering modes (like crab steer) or incorrect wheel positioning, which risks loss of machine stability or collision when maneuvering in tight spaces.
The 701/60076 proximity sensor is an inductive sensor mounted on the steering axle. Its job is to non-contact detect a metal element (target) on the knuckle or bridge. This allows the machine's ECU to precisely determine when the wheels are in the "straight-ahead" position or at a full lock. This is essential for wheel synchronization and activating advanced steering modes.

Yes, this is an inductive proximity sensor. It works by detecting the proximity of metal (e.g., a target on the knuckle) without physical contact.
This is a key identifying feature of the electrical connector. Different plug types (e.g., round, flat) are used in JCB machines. Before purchasing, you must visually confirm that the plug in your machine is square and has 3 pins.
These are interchangeable (alternative) numbers for the same part. 701/34400 is likely an older part number that has been superseded by 701/60076. Both references fit the same machines.
