For testing electromechanical power steering components up to complete steering systems, dSPACE offers scalable systems ranging from small and compact rotary test benches up to large, high-performance steering test benches.
The dSPACE test bench allows you to create a test environment for running virtual test drives to evaluate and analyze the real steering system with different control and function algorithms at an early stage.
This means that even before vehicle integration, requirements on the steering feel and the sense of safety can be evaluated objectively and subjectively. Great advantages are the high reproducibility and adaptability of tests, and the broad range of uses for the test bench.
The dSPACE portfolio for steering test benches ranges from small and compact rotary test benches (e.g., for integration in a standard 19" HIL cabinet) to large high-performance steering test benches using linear actuators for applications that require maximum dynamics and precision.
