Abstract
MDPS(Motor-driven power steering) can reduce the fatigue of driver by installing the steering wheel with lighter weight and is able to give the sense of manipulation appropriate for the driving condition of vehicle to the driver with more elaborate driving by changing it to feel heavier at higher speed. Accordingly, in this study, the structural analysis due to each of the configurations of torque sensor disk, which is one of the components MDPS, was carried out. The classification of three configurations was based on the number of grooves in the torque sensor disk and the study results were deduced by analyzing three models comparatively. As the analysis results, it was found that the number of grooves affects the equivalent stress and deformation of models and that model 3 has the outstanding structural stability. Therefore, the design factors of torque sensor disk were secured through this study result and it is considered that the torque sensor disk with outstanding structural stability can be developed by using these design factors.
