Modular rotary steering test bench

This test bench is used to test steering systems with rotary steering support on the steering column. In addition to electric power steering (EPS) systems, it is also possible to test superposition steering. The flexible base plate combined with the various drive systems and the possibility to hold it in a fixed position gives our customers maximum flexibility.

Features:

  • Modular test bench for
    • Electromechanical power steering with servomotor on the steering column (C-EPS)
    • Active front steering (AFS)
  • Synchronous motor for simulating the driver torque and the steering wheel position
  • Synchronous motor for simulating the torques that result from the road forces and act on the steering column
  • Operation modes:
    • Blocking
    • Single load
    • Dual load
  • Prepared for virtual test drives thanks to the seamless integration into the ASM Vehicle Dynamics Model
  • Stimulus generators implemented in MATLAB/Simulink for synthetic stimuli
  • Dimensions: 4 m x 1 m x 1.8 m (approx. 9.8 x 3.3 x 7.2 ft)
  • Weight: approx. 1,500 kg (approx. 3,307 lb)
  • Connected load: 15 kW
