What does the EPS system in cars mean?
1 Answers
Automotive EPS stands for Electric Power Steering. Here is a detailed introduction to the automotive EPS system: 1. Its function is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering. The system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power assist motor, eliminating the need for components such as a hydraulic power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belts, and pulleys mounted on the engine, thereby saving energy and protecting the environment. 2. EPS can improve vehicle stability by independently applying brakes to individual wheels when the vehicle shows signs of instability and by participating in the engine management system to ensure driving safety. The EPS system mainly consists of a vehicle speed sensor, reduction gear, torque sensor, electric motor, and electronic control unit.
