Electrically Powered Steering – Belt Drive
Belt drive electrically powered steering for C segment vehicles to full size trucks
Belt drive electrically powered steering system features a modular design for C segment vehicles to full size trucks with up to 18kN rack load. This technology supports CO₂ reduction, fuel economy and automated driving.
Advantages
- Industry-leading steer feel in application segments
- PMAC motor with low rotational inertia
- High efficiency belt drive
- Low friction and low lash ball screw mechanism
- Electric power pack - highly integrated compact design with high accuracy control capabilities
- ASIL D compliant ECU
- Flexibility for co-developed or customer-specific algorithm or software module implementation and/or integration
Technical Information
- Helps to ensure continuation of operation after failures by adding redundant hardware and software features in line with growth of ADAS and Automated Driving (AD)
- Hardware redundancy of important elements of the Electrical Power Pack (EPP) such as: torque and motor position sensors, motor winding and driver stage - configurable to meet application needs
- Helps to reduce occurrence of sudden loss of assist, offering improvements in system availability compared to conventional EPS products (down to 1FIT)
