What is EPS?

[Maureen]

EPS, or Electric Power Steering, refers to a power steering system that relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque, assisting the driver with steering through the power generated by the motor. More related information is as follows: 1. This system directly provides steering assistance via an electric power 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. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the torque sensor detects the direction and magnitude of the steering torque and sends a voltage signal to the electronic control unit (ECU). Based on the torque voltage signal, steering direction, and vehicle speed signal detected by the torque sensor, the ECU sends commands to the motor controller, enabling the motor to output steering assistance torque of corresponding magnitude and direction, thereby generating auxiliary power.
