Description

SKF steering encoder units are steering input devices for steer-by-wire systems that combine reliable encoder technology with the simplicity of plug-and-play component packaging. The detailed design of the units is based on well-proven SKF technologies.

The units consist of:

• A sealed SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearing for long service life and reliable performance
• Bearing encoder technology for precise monitoring
• A friction torque device, which provides feedback to the operator by providing ad equate resistance in the steering wheel
• A mechanical interface for mounting
• A shaft to connect the steering wheel

The units reliably fulfill the demands of industrial and off-highway vehicle steer-by-wire systems and:

• Do not require any adjustment
• Do not require re-lubrication during their expected service life and are virtually maintenance-free
• Are supplied ready-to-mount (connection to a steer-by-wire system is achieved by plugs)
