Dual Pinion Drive
Dual Pinion drive electrically powered steering for C and D segment vehicles
Dual pinion drive EPS systems by ZF, offers a low cost rack-drive power steering solution for C and D segment passenger cars and mid-sized SUVs through to 13kN rack load. The technology provides CO₂ reduction and fuel economy (compared to hydraulic powered steering) as well as high-availability architectures to support automated driving features.
Advantages
- Low cost rack drive solution
- PMAC motor with low rotational inertia
- 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)
