| Term | Definition |
| Steering Clutch and Brake | Use independent control mechanisms to drive and brake each track independently for steering purposes. |
| Differential Steer | Uses 3 planetary gear sets and a steering motor to drive one track faster than the other and accomplish turns. |
| Geared Steering | Used on older Case equipment, essentially provided separate transmissions for the left and right track. Selecting a different gear for each track will cause the machine to turn. |
| Power Turn | A turn accomplished with a track machine where both tracks continue to provide power and driving force. |
| Counter-rotate | When a machine accomplishes a turn in a circle without moving forward or backward. |
| Steering Clutch | Normally engaged clutch that transfers power to the final drives on each side of the machine. |
| Steering Brake | Normally disengaged brake that slows and stops the track on one side of a machine. |
| Hydrostatic Steering | Hydrostatic Transmission provides steering by driving each track independently with a hydraulic pump and motor combination. |
| Hydraulic Drive/Steering | Similar system to hydrostatic steering that uses a hydraulic pump and motor, only it is not a closed loop system and the oil returns to the reservoir after traveling through the motor. |
| Steering Motor | Used on differential steer equipment. The steering motor rotates one direction to create a left turn and the opposite direction for a right turn. |
| Brake Band | Style of steering brake that uses a strap with friction material wrapped around the outside of a steel drum. |
| Friction Disc | Disc coated with friction material that serves as one of the reaction discs in a steering clutch. |
| Steel Plate | Steel Disc placed between friction discs in a steering clutch or brake assembly. |
| Wet Clutch | Clutch assembly that operates in oil to improve cooling and friction performance. |
| Dry clutch | Clutch assembly that operates in a dry housing with no lubricant. |
| Multi-disc brake | Steering brake assembly made up of steel plates and friction discs to provide braking action. |
