Steering

Distance between axles is 0.93 m

Distance between king pins 0.55 m

Max steering angle actual is about 32 degrees (center heading)

Steering is limited to +/- 28 degrees in RHD, this gives a turning radius of 2m.

Steering is sensed by RHD plugin "as5047x2", that receives data from encoder interface - a teensy.

The steering angle (in degrees * 10 - positive left) is then transferred to "roboteq-can" RHD plugin, where the steer controller is implemented - and limited to +/- 28 degrees.

Overview of new steering

Figure 1. New steering part maintaining original steering axle position, but replacing with bearings and a belt drive to a maxon gear motor. This figure points to most of the off-the-shelf parts used.

Figure 2. New steering part maintaining original steering axle position, but replacing with bearings and a belt drive to a maxon gear motor. This figure points to most of the parts that needs workshop assistance. Most of the parts - except axlesl (7 and 8) - can be manufactored on own workshop. The axles will be manufactored by axle supplier.

Maxon motor

The motor for steering is a Gear-motor-encoder combination from Maxon:
