e-Wheel 100

Haptic electric steering with passive force-feedback

The electric steering input device e-Wheel 100 offers excellent steering controllability in Steer-by-wire fail safe applications. Allowing new cabin design flexibility, increased productivity and reduced operator fatigue.

It provides haptic passive force-feedback, which mimics the feel of conventional mechanically linked steering systems (such as hydro-static enforced feedback).

Case stories

Farmer's farewell to fatigue

FENDT launched the first combine harvester equipped with IDEALDrive – a machine you steer with a joystick, not a traditional steering wheel.

Improving operator comfort and productivity

With more commercially available steering input options, including mini-wheels and joysticks, it was trendy to switch to a new method. We had multiple discussions with our customers about steering solutions that were very much driven by the current trend. Ergonomic benefits of joystick steering, for example, were implied, but we couldn’t prove anything.
