Abstract

Electric power steering systems offer considerable potential for energy savings when compared with rack- and-pinion-type hydraulic power steering. At the same time, they play a major part in meeting the increased demands made on vehicle safety, driving comfort and driver assistance. Although their average power input from the vehicle’s electrical system is low, enabling their peak power requirements is a major challenge for the development process. To permit nevertheless reliable and economical integration into luxury class vehicles, ZF Lenksysteme GmbH is developing energy-efficient steering systems that cope with extremely high demands for steering power yet require only limited power from the vehicle’s electrical system.
