  • Publication number: 20250214649
    Abstract: An independent steering device includes a knuckle coupled to a wheel and a driving unit including a motor and a reducer. The motor provides driving force for rotating the knuckle. At least a portion of the reducer is rotatably connected to the knuckle and decelerates a rotational movement of the motor and transmits the rotational movement to the knuckle. The independent steering device further includes a steering angle measuring device coupled to the knuckle and the driving unit and measuring a steering angle of the wheel. The steering angle measuring device includes a body coupled to the knuckle and rotates with the knuckle, a shaft rotatably coupled to the body, and a rod coaxially extending from the shaft and fixed to at least a portion of the driving unit.

  • Publication number: 20250214645
    Abstract: An independent steering device includes: a knuckle coupled to a wheel; and a driving unit having the knuckle rotatably coupled to at least a portion thereof and providing a driving force for rotating the knuckle. The driving unit may include: a motor having a first rotating shaft; a reducer having a second rotating shaft and coupled to the knuckle; and a power transmission member connecting the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft and configured to transmit rotational force between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The motor and the reducer may be disposed so that the first and second rotating shafts are parallel.

  • Publication number: 20250115223
    Abstract: In a vehicular brake-by-wire system, when a motor needs to generate brake hydraulic pressure, but fails to drive due to a trouble with the motor, a failure in the controller, or the like, a driver operates a pneumatic cylinder by operating pneumatic valve switch, and a master cylinder operates by the operation of the pneumatic cylinder, thereby possibly generating brake hydraulic pressure for vehicular braking.
