DC Electronics Now Available At Attacking the Clock Racing
We're happy to announce that ATC now offers DC Electronics Motorsport power-assisted steering systems and accessories!
DC Electronics have developed a range of standalone electric power-assisted steering systems (EPAS) for a wide variety of uses, including automotive, marine, off highway and motorsport use. Established in 1997 DC Electronics offer a unique range of electric power steering products (including custom design, if required) for a variety of industries, including: Automotive, Marine, Autonomous, Off Highway, Motorsport.
As well as EPAS systems, we can also help with other selected hardware, our expertise being particularly relevant to Autonomous applications.
Our long-standing reputation for quality and reliability has been built over the years through a consistent devotion to pursuing excellence in everything we do
Electric Power-Assist System (EPAS) - How It Works
- The EPAS system goes inline with the existing steering column. (in some cases)
- An electric motor and torque sensor are fitted in-line with the steering column.
- The torque sensor monitors the amount of force applied by the driver.
- This signal is fed into the EPAS ECU where the motor delivers the appropriate amount of assistance to power the steering rack/box.
Benefits
- No hydraulics required.
- Lighter than a comparable hydraulic system.
- No hydraulic pump dragging on the engine.
- Weight of steering adjustable.
- Data available over CAN bus (certain systems only).
- Can be retro fitted to existing steering system.
We have four power-assisted steering systems available to fit a variety of needs:
Microsteer - for beginner, street use
EPAS500 - mid level road and track
EPAS Ultra - serious motorsport
EPAS Competition (launching soon) - super serious motorsport
