New SWS Steering Wheel Sensor for Warehouse Trucks
New SWS Steering Wheel Sensor for Warehouse Trucks Compact, integrated steering wheel sensor with adjustable steering feel (haptic) and CAN bus
Amherst, NY – Allied Motion Technologies has introduced the SWS Steering Wheel Sensor, a compact steer-by-wire steering wheel feedback sensor designed specifically for warehouse vehicles like reach, counterbalance, and lift trucks.
Steering wheels can be mounted directly to the SWS and connected to a CAN bus. Without the need for a mechanical connection, truck designers are free to position the steering wheel where it is most suitable from all aspects - ergonomic, practical, and economical. For drivers, the SWS delivers a superior steering feeling from its no stick-slip, no wear, integrated magnetic friction system.
SWS Steering Wheel Sensor highlights include:
- Compact and flat, the unit mounts directly to most vehicle steering wheels
- High-resolution sensing (≥16,384 steps/rev)
- Integrated connector for simple installation and high reliability
- IP67 rated, complies to PL d according to ISO13849
- CAN communication output
- Excellent steering feel
The SWS works seamlessly with Allied Motions’ EPS steering actuator motor for responsive, accurate warehouse and utility vehicle steering.
