Sakor Technologies says its dynamometer testing system for electric steering systems can be used by engineering teams for validation and performance evaluation of electric motors and electronic control units (ECUs) that directly control the motor during electric steering.
The system features a 1.5 kilowatt 4-quadrant AC motoring dynamometer and includes a high-voltage battery simulator, which provides repeatable testing results for the electric steering components. The testing system communicates with the ECU via CAN bus (Controller Area Network). Sakor says the system is important for ensuring that steering operates smoothly, with no perceptible torque ripple felt by the driver.
