Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for reducing loads in a steering system in particular during an operation in a vehicle, wherein a load caused by an external application of force on the steering system is determined and at least partially compensated in at least one operating state by controlling an actuator unit, and wherein the actuator unit is controlled in the operating state in such a way that an inertia effect of the steering system correlating with the external application of force is reduced.
Claims14
A method of reducing loads in a steering system during an operation in a vehicle, comprising:
- determining a load caused by an external application of force to the steering system, the force configured to move the steering system in a force direction;
- and
- at least partially compensating for the load in at least one operating state by controlling an actuator unit to reduce an inertia effect of the steering system by moving the steering system in the force direction using the actuator unit.
