NSK is at present growing pressure feedback actuators and highway wheel actuators , essential steer-by-wire sub-systems, as well as an digital management paradigm that ensures safe operation even in case of failure. NSK developed a high-efficiency rear wheel steering actuator with compact motor and low power consumption. The wheel angle is effectively controlled by an actuator consisting of a ball screw and a newly developed locking clutch. The ball screw converts motor rotation into linear motion with minimal loss, and the locking clutch permits the wheel angle to be maintained with zero energy consumption. Only about 1 p.c of total …
