Servotronic Control

SERVOTRONIC CONTROL

The Servotronic system provides steering assistance which is proportional to vehicle speed. It comprises the steering control module, and Servotronic valve forming part of the hydraulic control valve assembly.

The Servotronic valve is an electro-hydraulic device with a variable orifice, which varies in size according to the position of a needle valve. The needle valve is controlled by a solenoid in response to a variable current input from the steering control module. This regulates the fluid flow through the hydraulic control valve, which determines the amount of steering assistance.
