Friction Disc Yaw System
The Friction Disc Yaw System (FDYS) is a type of steering system used in vehicles to control yaw motion. It utilizes friction discs to generate a torque that counteracts the vehicle's tendency to rotate around its vertical axis.
Here are some key features of the FDYS:
- Friction discs are engaged and disengaged electronically to control the amount of torque applied.
- The system can be used in conjunction with other steering systems, such as hydraulic power steering.
- FDYS offers precise yaw control, improving vehicle stability and handling.
