steering torque sensor saves fuel Mon, 12/03/2012 - 12:56pm  TT
electronics’ new non-contact power steering torque sensor uses
less current and is smaller and lighter than existing solutions,
helping to make electronic power steering systems more compact,
reliable and efficient.   Designed to sense very small
differential angles, the new TT electronics SX-4428 Magnetorque
II non-contact steering torque sensor is based on Hall Effect
technology. The innovative free-floating torque rotor within the
device offers infinite rotational life. The lack of torque rotor
friction means it does not wear out as in previous devices thus
improving reliability and extending product life expectancy.
The new sensor from TT electronics enables the end user to
program output levels and reduce the use of tight tolerances in
the steering shaft, thereby reducing shaft machining costs. The
compact packaging and lightweight construction mean both space
and weight are sav
