How Does a Car Steering System Work?
1 Answers
When a car is turning, the torque sensor detects the steering wheel's torque and the intended turning direction. These signals are sent to the electronic control unit via the data bus. Based on the transmitted torque, intended direction, and other data signals, the control unit issues action commands to the motor controller. The motor then outputs the corresponding magnitude of turning torque as needed. The steering system mainly consists of the steering tube, steering wheel, steering shaft, and column. It is a control mechanism used to change the vehicle's direction of travel, functioning to control the driving direction according to the driver's intention.
