The SASA sensor detects the absolute position and speed of the steering wheel. The sensor can be used
in electro-hydraulic steering systems using Danfoss OSPE, EHI, or EHPS steering valves with
programmable controller or in any other steering system where the rotation of the steering wheel must
be detected as an electronic signal.
There are two versions available of SASA sensors:
SASAIIC used for PVED-CL actuator. SASAIIC has single CAN output signal and “fail silent” concept
SASAIID used for PVED-CLS actuator and general usage. SASAIID has dual CAN output signal.
The use of SASA sensor is relevant e.g. for variable steering ratio and closed loop set-ups where steering
wheel position and steering angle have to match.
The SASA sensor also can be used for “kick out” of Auto-steering. When the steering valve is in autoguidance mode, and the driver wants to swap to manual steering, a signal from the SASA sensor will
deactivate the Auto-steering and the steering wheel movement has priority.
SASA is based on a non-contact inductive principle giving a very high resolution.
The sensor features a robust design and resists e.g. electro-magnetic radiation.
The output is a CAN signal, which makes it easy to interface to advanced vehicle controllers and to
Danfoss PVED-CLS actuators for steering valves.
The steering wheel shaft turns the rotor of the SASA sensor, and the sensor is simply mounted between
steering unit and steering column. The shaft of the steering column must be 15 mm longer when using
SASA sensor.
In cases where customers want to use the same steering column in applications with and without SASA
sensors, Danfoss offers an adapter kit type SAK to built in between column and sensor.
