Why Choose the Microsteer MGU with Autonomous Control?
Ideal for use as a steering servo when mated to a hydraulic power steering system.
Used on vehicles that still utilize hydraulic power steering and require autonomous & manned control.
Ideal for 12 V DC, very low steering input load vehicles.
MGU is fitted anywhere inline between the steering wheel and rack input pinion.
The input shaft allows manual control as well as autonomous control.
The system can provide up to 37 Nm of steering column torque
CAN Bus control using one of the three following options:
Sending a simulated torque sensor signal,
Sending a +/- duty cycle demand for direct control of the EPAS motor,
Sending heading and gain request for the EPAS motor to steer to.
