Vast Experience

Allied Motion has supplied the fork lift truck industry with compact, safe and reliable all electric steer by wire and power

assist servo systems for decades. The new EPS series leverage from this experience of over 200 000 units from previous

generations in the eld.

Covers all sizes of warehouse trucks

The Allied Motion EPS series of steering systems offer compact, versatile, long-life, trouble-free steering for all common

warehouse truck sizes, from the smallest pallet lifter to multi-ton reach trucks or 3 wheel counter balance trucks.

New Feature Turning Wheel Absolute Position Control

- Patent Pending

A common headache for manufacturers of fork lift truck using steer-by-wire is the homing sequence. When the truck key is

turned, most trucks utilize a homing sequence where the turning wheel rotates until a homing sensor is activated, and the

absolute position of the turning wheel is known.

With the optional Allied Motion Turning Wheel Absolute Position Control none of this is needed. This option (patent pend-

ing) allows the controller to know the absolute position of the turning wheel, without the need of external sensors. When

the driver turns the key, the drive wheel makes a very small movement, hardly noticeable to the operator and then the truck

steering direction is known by the EPS. This position information can be communicated to external systems via CAN.

Even if the truck wheel has been manually moved during power off (for example in service with the wheel lifted) the EPS will

still gure out the absolute position once power is turned on again. No external parts means higher reliability, easier assem-

bly, maintenance and lower cost!
