Steering Angle Sensors

Front Main Steering Angle Sensor:




The front main steering angle sensor is mounted in the steering column. It senses the direction and angle of steering wheel rotation and converts it to electrical signals that are sent to the control unit.


Rear Main Steering Angle Sensor:





The rear main steering angle sensor is mounted on the rear actuator. It senses the direction and angle of the rear wheels and sends signals to the control unit. The control unit uses this information as feedback to determine if the actual rear wheel position matches the desired position.


Front Sub Steering Angle Sensor:




The front sub steering angle sensor is mounted on the front steering gearbox. Its purpose is to detect the position of the front wheels and convert this information to an electrical signal for the control unit.





The front sub steering angle sensor uses a spring- loaded plunger that rides in a sloped groove in the rack. As the rack turns the front wheels, the plunger rides up the slope and is pushed into the differential transformer assembly. The plunger's position is used to determine how far the rack is turned.


Rear Sub Steering Angle Sensor:




The rear sub steering angle sensor is mounted on the rear actuator spring cover. Its detects the position of the rear wheels as a feedback signal for the control unit. It operates in exactly the same way as the front sub steering angle sensor.
