Haptic electric steering with passive force-feedback
The electric steering input device e-Wheel 100 offers excellent steering controllability in Steer-by-wire fail safe applications. Allowing new cabin design flexibility, increased productivity and reduced operator fatigue.
It provides haptic passive force-feedback, which mimics the feel of conventional mechanically linked steering systems (such as hydro-static enforced feedback).
