What Does EPS Mean in a Car?

[LeHolden]

eps, or Electric Power Steering, refers to a power steering system that relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. It uses the power generated by the motor to assist the driver in steering. More related information is as follows: 1. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power machine, eliminating the need for a power steering oil pump, hoses, hydraulic oil, transmission belt, and pulley mounted on the engine, saving energy and protecting the environment. 2. When the driver operates the steering wheel, the torque sensor detects the steering direction and the magnitude of the torque, sending a voltage signal to the electronic control unit. Based on the torque voltage signal, steering direction, and vehicle speed signal detected by the torque sensor, the electronic control unit sends commands to the motor controller, enabling the motor to output steering assistance torque of corresponding magnitude and direction, thereby generating auxiliary power.
