For many years, power steering technology was focused on hydraulic systems but demand is now favouring electric power steering mainly due to fuel consumption and logistical benefits. There are generally three types of Electric Power Steering (EPS), depending on the positioning of the motor / reducer unit: Column Type, Pinion Type and Rack Type. The best type for any given vehicle model depends on that model’s particular characteristics. EPS systems effectively eliminate the traditional hydraulic system’s power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt and pulley on the engine.
More specifically, EPS offers significant fuel efficiency advantages and reduced CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions as steering assist is only supplied upon driver demand through an electric drive system that is independent of the engine. Because electric steering systems operate under computer control, steering feel can be tuned through software, enabling integration with other electronically controlled technologies such as electronic stability control braking systems. Electric steering systems are also suitable for supporting electric vehicle architectures. An EPS system can effectively change the assist force for steering operation depending on information such as steering angle, steering angle velocity, speed and acceleration of the vehicle and each wheel, and yaw rate. The EPS system can therefore not only reduce the steering load but also optimise the assist force depending on the driving situation.
