Torque sensors play a crucial role in this system as they capture the forces and moments applied directly to the steering and control the system for hydraulic or electric power steering assistance. This achieves greater comfort in the steering area, which is essential for a pleasant driving experience.
The existing torque systems in steering are designed to meet the highest safety requirements in the steering area. The systems currently in use have been in operation for years and are based on established technologies.
The trend in steering systems clearly leans towards "Steered by Wire" to prepare the car for use in autonomous vehicles. In "Steered by Wire" steering systems, the steering column is no longer directly connected to the steering axle. This means that in these steering systems, the signals transmitted by the driver to the steering wheel are electronically captured, and based on this information, the steering angle of the vehicle is adjusted.

The trend of these systems underscores the necessity for the integration capability of sensor systems required to capture driver signals. Moreover, there's a need to capture an overlay of driver signals with "force feedback." Force feedback is essential because when the steering column is no longer mechanically linked, and thus no torque is applied to the steering column, the driver requires haptic feedback. Traditional torque sensors are not suitable for these applications. New solutions need to be devised.
Magnetic Sense's new technology for the development of magnetically inductive torque sensors opens up new possibilities in this area. Magnetic Sense torque sensors can be dimensioned to measure the torque of the steering column contactlessly in tight spaces.
The technological concept involves redundant signal processing and can be used in safety-critical applications depending on the requirements. Additional applications are also emerging in the agricultural sector, which is preparing for fully automatic harvesting machines. Anywhere where motors move machinery, opportunities for contactless torque measurement arise.
