e-Wheel 100 electric steering wheel
Using haptic passive force feedback to mimic the feel of conventional mechanically linked steering systems, the e-Wheel 100 electric steering input device offers excellent steering controllability in steer-by-wire fail-safe applications. It also frees up cabin design, increases productivity, and reduces operator fatigue.
