Abstract JTEKT has developed a small, lightweight and low-cost steering angle sensor (SAS) for electric power steering (EPS) integration to meet market needs. The magnetic yoke of the torque sensor mounted in the column and the main gear of the SAS have been molded as one single piece for common use, and positioned in the sensor housing. The electronic control unit (ECU) provides the electronic circuit of the SAS. These efforts have made it possible to reduce the size and the weight of the developed sensor. In addition, the number of parts has been reduced and target cost reduction has been achieved.
