Electronic power steering (EPS) contributes 3% to 4% reduction in fuel consumption in a variety of vehicles. TT Electronics’ Sensing and Control division’s integrated solution for measuring torque and steering wheel angle combines its non-contacting torque sensor with a multi-turn position sensor in a single compact package. The Magnetorque Plus sensor’s torque and position sensing functions are based on Hall Effect technology. The non-contact design maximizes mechanical durability to support a minimum lifetime of 1 million shaft rotations without degradation of electrical outputs. The position output provides absolute multi-turn position information up to ±900⁰ of rotation.
