A new milestone - Scharmüller steering ball K80® EAMS

The future of electronic forced steering

Die Scharmüller Lenkkugel K80® EAMS is an Embedded Angle Measurement System (EAMS)
working with a sensor inside the K80®*. The system measures the steering angle between tractor and
trailer. 

• no K50, K60 or other steering assembly necessary.
  
  
• increased pivoting angle.
  
  
• no additional coupling process required.
  
  
• best protection against external environmental
  influences.
  
  
• Plug&Play - as soon as the ball coupling is coupled
  to the K80®* ball, the system is activated.
  
  
• fleet suitability.
  
  
• integration into all K80®* ball couplings and
  common bus systems possible.
