* Functional safety : Measures taken to improve the safety of functions in order to reduce danger.
(3) Weight reduction
Through the miniaturization of heat dissipating heat sinks, the reduction of the number of components and simpler construction, NSK has been able to make the ECU smaller and lighter (24% lighter than the current type).
In addition, these changes have made the motor more compact for a total weight savings of about 10%.
(4) Minimum Cost Increases
In keeping the existing EPS hardware components and changing the software specifications only to meet diverse, advanced needs, NSK has been able to keep cost increases to a minimum and reduce development lead time.
Application
This product is perfect for global models, since the same EPS can be applied to both small- and medium-sized cars produced in a variety of specifications.
Product Benefits
* Helps to increase safety while reducing steering wheel operational effort for the driver
* Helps improve fuel efficiency
In realizing the practical applications for its state-of-the-art technology, NSK is helping to improve the safety, environmental friendliness and comfort of automobiles. NSK is not focused solely on modularization—it is also targeting increased growth in global earnings for its steering technology business through further specification improvements, localized sourcing and localized production.
