Product Description


DC Electronics Microsteer Kit is a universal Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system.

It can be easily fitted to most vehicles, where a manual steering system currently exists.

This is a smaller and more compact unit to help with installation were size may be a factor. This motor/gearbox/unit is also designed to go in line with the existing steering column between the steering wheel and the manual steering Rack or Box, being smaller it can be used in tighter installations, where the size of the unit is a factor.

Please Note - The Microsteer MGU (EPAS200) has maximum torque output of 32Nm (24lb. Ft) plus the driver input. To make sure this kit will best suit your application it is recommended that you test your current manual steering system torque. (please see photo attached showing manual steering torque testing)

This is easily done by using a torque wrench on the steering wheel lock nut, with the vehicle on the ground and stationary, turn the steering wheel using the torque wrench and record the torque required to turn the steering. This test is a good indicator of what torque your have and what kit will fit best your vehicle requirements. We do have a range of kits with a range of torque outputs, please call or email us to see what kit will best fit your application.

If your current manual steering system is below 32Nm then the Microsteer kit will work well.

The Microsteer kit (Part No EPAS200) comprises the following components –

• Motor/Gearbox (MGU)
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
• Tuning Box
• Wiring Harness
• Input and Output Shafts

HOW IT WORKS

The unique Microsteer Tuning Box allows you to adjust the amount of assistance by using a rotary potentiometer or, if you prefer, you can make the system speed sensitive by connecting a wheel speed signal to the Tuning Box.
A mode selection switch on the box allows you to choose your preferred method either manual or wheel speed.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Installation is easy - the MGU is designed to be fitted in line with the existing steering column by removing a section of column and inserting the MGU in its place. The MGU can be mounted via the front or rear 3 x M8 mounting holes. You just need to fabricate suitable brackets to mount the MGU orientation that best suits your application.

Please Note – All mounting brackets must be designed to take full torsional forces generated by the system. – a tensional force in excess of 60Nm/45lb.ft. can easily be generated by the driver and steering system combined.
