Electronics, Modules, & Sub-Assemblies

Actuators

Our actuators provide column position actuation with low audible and electrical noise. Integrated packaging design – with steering column and optional controller, including memory and communication functions – is available.

Lock Housings

Our lock housings meet North American and European anti-theft requirements. The modular design integrates various contents, such as:

  • Shift mechanism
  • Multifunction, SIR coil, module
  • Anti-theft electronics module
  • Angle position sensor module
  • Column electric module
  • BTSI/EPL solenoids
  • Ignition switch
  • Key cylinder, lock, ECL module
  • Tilt mechanism, connections (power and manual)

We work closely with our customers to develop shift systems and use verification design tools including proprietary shift systems design software.

Outputs include:

  • Rotational angles
  • Shift effort
  • Travel
  • Mechanical advantage
  • Forces — magnitude and direction for Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
  • System optimization
  • Rapid design changes and verification (axiomatic design, FEA, closeout boot design, shift lever design, dimensional stack analysis)
