Abstract
Over the last few years, Schaeffler has played its role in driving the replacement of hydraulic with electromechanical systems thanks to developing an electromechanical anti-roll system. The plan is for series production of this system to start in 2015. The benefits offered by the system are:
– Little or no tilting of the vehicle when cornering as a function of the present lateral acceleration
– More accurate steering behaviour, improved agility and stability
– Enhanced system dynamics compared to hydraulic systems
– Simple installation and easy maintenance
– Reduction in the number of field complaints by up to 30 % compared to hydraulic systems
– Installation in hybrid vehicles possible
– Reduction in fuel consumption of up to 0.3 litres compared to hydraulic anti-roll systems, and
– Weight neutral compared to hydraulic systems
