GLOBAL STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSORS MARKET

INTRODUCTION

On-road and off-road automobiles have traditionally relied on a hydro-mechanical Steering column torque sensors. A rack-and-pinion steering gear that is physically connected to the steering wheel typically constitutes the mechanical system.

Power steering became popular in the 1980s and 1990s, reducing the amount of force required to turn the steering wheel.

A hydraulic actuator that helped the rack-and-pinion steering gear turn was used to accomplish this. Even with electric power steering, the mechanical components' limitations present the greatest obstacle.

In the automotive industry, Steer-by-Wire (SbW) or Drive-by-Wire (DbW) technology replaces hydraulic and mechanical connections between the hand steering wheel and the road with electronics, actuators, and algorithms.

Electronic control systems take the place of traditional mechanical ones with this technology, which is very similar to the fly-by-wire systems that are used a lot in the aviation industry.

GLOBAL STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSORS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global Steering column torque sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

 The Steering column torque sensors that the driver applies to the steering wheel is measured by the Servo Electric electric power steering system's steering column torque sensors.

The electric motor's required amount of steering assistance is determined by the electronic control unit using this information.

Matching the driver's steering wheel to the wheels of the vehicle is accomplished by the steering angle sensor (SAS). For redundancy, accuracy, and diagnostics, the steering angle sensor, which is housed within the steering column, always combines multiple sensors into a single unit.

An electronic device known as a force torque (FT) sensor is made to monitor, detect, record, and regulate the linear and rotational forces that are applied to it.

To put it another way, the FT sensor in a mechanical or robotic system can be compared to the skin's micro-receptors, which give animals the sense of "touch."

Power steering may malfunction if the steering angle control isn't working properly because it helps make power steering corrections.

It might get the wrong signals or no signals at all, which could cause it to make incorrect adjustments or not provide any assistance.

Most of the time, this is because the universal joint in your column is getting old and worn out. When you move the steering wheel, you notice that it feels loose.You can hear high-pitched sounds when you turn the steering wheel, like a squeaking sound.

In order to better serve electric power steering (EPS), Bosch launched a new TSS (torque sensor steering) torque sensor. The improved TSS enables sensitive measurement of the driver's steering force.

An electronic control unit calculates the required amount of steering support for the electric servo motor based on the measured data and adapts it to the speed and condition of the road.

Hydraulic power steering can be replaced with electric power steering, which uses less energy and can cut fuel consumption by up to 0.5 litres for every 100 km travelled.

EPS serves as a platform for appealing new driver assistance features like parking assistants and lane-departure warning systems.

The modern automobile is equipped with a variety of sensors to improve the driver's support while driving. Modern vehicles need a variety of sensors to improve driving performance and pleasure, and this requirement is growing as new technology is adopted by the automotive industry.

To calculate the torque that the driver applies when steering, an automotive steering torque sensor is used. The steering pinion houses this torque sensor.

The Automotive Steering Torque Sensor is a precise and durable digital torque measurement tool placed in vehicles to enhance vehicle operation and safety.

The TSS can be used as a base for accurate, energy-efficient servo drive intervention thanks to its ultra-fine torque resolution.

The steering torque sensor's small size makes it appropriate for installation in both the passenger and engine compartments. Vehicle and endurance testing are now being done on the TSS.

Bosch Automotive Electronics is now offering samples.  The TSS is mounted on the steering column's torsion bar and measures torque using a magnetic measurement technique that is contact-free.

The amount of steering force that increases as a result of the friction between the tyres and the road causes the TSS to twist in an exact proportion to that increase.

The twisting angle is measured by the torsion bar's two circumferential rings. Through "windows" in the second ring, static magnetic fields produced by multipolar permanent magnets in the first ring are then directed at Hall sensors.

Magnetic flux that has been detected by the two Hall sensors is the quantity being measured. This method of measurement is very accurate because it is contact-free and thus wear-free. Changes in the magnetic flux can be measured at twisting angles as tiny as 0.002°.

The sensor satisfies all criteria for contemporary safety systems due to the redundancy of the electrical components.

The TSS is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor to account for temperature impacts.

When the vehicle is travelling straight ahead, the TSS determines the 0° steering angle using a different measurement method and transmits this information to the electronic control unit.
