Steering Module Test Simulator

eps test drawing with torque measuring servo exciters

A quiet (acoustically and electrically), non-hydraulic, turnkey lab test system consisting of a customer-specific combination of equipment and software that simulates driver functions into the steering column or wheel and road and vehicle inputs acting on a steering system through the tie rods.

Data Sheets

An SMTS is useful to experimentally develop, evaluate and validate countermeasures and NVH metrics and to experimentally verify EPS functions in order to achieve performance goals over the customer-equivalent useful life of a steering system. The SMTS is applicable to rack-mounted and column-mounted EPS as well as other steering technologies. When installed inside an acoustic enclosure or hemi-anechoic chamber the SMTS can be used for low-noise measurements. In-lab acceleration measurements have been correlated with in-vehicle acceleration and noise measurements. This validates that countermeasures proven with in-lab-measured, structure-borne noises can be confidently used to guide their implementation in steering systems installed in vehicles. MB equipment fulfills GMW16216 and GMW17112.
