Active front steering actuator

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a steering system including: a differential transmission having an input shaft and an output shaft; a rotary input device attached to the input shaft; a movable steering effector in operable communication with the output shaft; an angular-to-linear converter which converts a rotative motion of the output shaft to a linear motion that acts to move the steering effector, wherein the motion of the steering effector enables path alteration of a vehicle; and, an electromotive actuator, in operable communication with the differential transmission, wherein an activated electromotive actuator provides an active alteration of a speed change between a speed of the input shaft and a speed of the output shaft and a deactivated electromotive actuator provides a default speed change between the speed of the input shaft and the speed of the output shaft.
