EHS, Electro Hydraulic Steering unit
New generation electric motor-pump unit with brushless motor including integrated drive electronics and patented gear profile low noise pump
The Concentric EHS unit is specifically designed for steering applications for on highway heavy vehicles. Typically it can replace the conventional engine driven power steering pump in a bus or a truck. Its robust construction is designed for long life time, even in very tough conditions.
