What does EPS mean when displayed on a car?
1 Answers
EPS in cars stands for Electric-Power-Steering. Its function is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver with power steering. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as a power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and engine-mounted pulley required in hydraulic power steering systems, thereby saving energy and protecting the environment. Here is some relevant information: 1. EPS can improve vehicle stability; when the vehicle shows signs of instability, the electronic power steering system can independently brake each wheel and participate in the engine system management to ensure driving safety. 2. The EPS system mainly consists of a speed sensor, reduction mechanism, torque sensor, electric motor, and electronic control unit.
