EPS is the Electric Power Steering system, which is a steering system that can assist the driver in steering by means of an electric motor. Compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system, EPS does not require hydraulic oil to provide steering assistance but uses electric drive to achieve steering assistance, so EPS has higher efficiency and better response speed.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the steering system of automobiles is constantly updated, and automobile EPS has become the standard of many automobile brands. Automobile EPS is mainly composed of an automobile EPS motor, reduction box, controller, and sensor. Among them, the motor is the core component of the EPS motor, and automobile EPS adopts the design of a DC brushless motor. A brushless motor means that there is no traditional carbon brush on the motor rotor, and the forward and reverse rotation of current is realized through an electronic commutator. In this way, automobile EPS motors can reduce wear and noise, and also improve the life and efficiency of EPS motors.

Ⅰ. Working process of automobile EPS motor

When the EPS motor of a car is working, the driver turns the steering wheel, and the angle sensor on the steering wheel senses the steering angle of the steering wheel and transmits this information to the controller. The controller calculates the appropriate steering assistance according to the driver's steering intention and the current state of the vehicle and then outputs the steering assistance through the motor. At the same time, the controller will also continuously monitor the vehicle's speed, steering angle, steering torque,e, and other parameters, so as to adjust the size and direction of the steering assistance in a timely manner when needed.

The output torque and direction of the EPS motor of the car can be adjusted by the controller. The controller can control the output torque by adjusting the current and direction of the motor. At the same time, the controller can also automatically adjust the size and direction of the steering assist according to information such as the vehicle's speed and steering angle, so that the driver can get appropriate steering assistance in different driving situations.

Ⅱ. The function of automobile EPS motor

In addition to providing steering assistance, the car EPS motor can also achieve some other functions.

①he car's EPS motor can automatically adjust the angle direction.

The car's EPS motor can automatically adjust the size and direction of the steering assist based on information such as the vehicle's speed and steering angle so that the driver can get appropriate steering assist in different driving situations such as high-speed driving and low-speed turning.

②The car EPS motor can realize automatic functions

The automotive EPS motor can realize the vehicle's active safety functions, such as lane keeping and automatic parking, by controlling the current size and direction of the motor.

Ⅲ. Limitations of automotive EPS motors

In addition to the above advantages, automotive EPS motors also have some limitations.

①The car's EPS motor maintains a sufficient and stable power supply.

The car's EPS motor requires power support. When the car's power system fails or the battery is low, the car's EPS motor may not work properly.

②The price of automotive EPS motor is high.

The price of automotive EPS motors is higher than that of traditional hydraulic power steering systems, so EPS motors may not be popular with some consumers who require lower prices.

In short, EPS is an efficient, reliable, and flexible power steering system. EPS uses EPS motor as the driving method to assist in vehicle steering, which has higher efficiency and better response speed than the traditional hydraulic power steering system.
