Keya Auto-Steering Motors Empower Smart Agriculture: A Case Study in Tractor Automation

Revolutionizing Farm Machinery with Intelligent Steering Solutions

As global agriculture embraces precision farming, Keya’s autonomous steering motors are redefining tractor control with 17A peak current output and dual-mode positioning accuracy. This case study reveals how a Midwest farming cooperative achieved 92% field coverage precision using Keya’s DC24V steering systems.

Core Technical Advantages

1. Robust Power Delivery

• 10A continuous / 17A peak current ensures torque stability during plowing (even at 15° slopes)

• Wide voltage compatibility: 9-28V DC adapts to tractor battery fluctuations

2. Precision Control Modes

3. Extreme Environment Resilience

• -40℃ cold start capability (low-temperature grade version)

• Vibration resistance: Survives 15G shocks during off-road operations

Implementation Case: Automated Row-Crop Tractor

Challenge

A 5,000-acre corn farm faced:

• 12% fuel waste from manual steering overlaps

• 3-hour/day operator fatigue during peak seasons

• GPS guidance system compatibility issues

Keya Solution

1. Installed 24VDC steering motors with CAN bus integration

2. Configured dual protection layers:

• Voltage safeguard: 7V cut-off / 32V overload thresholds

• Thermal management: Dual temp sensors (-55℃ to +85℃ storage range)

Results

• 18% fuel efficiency improvement via optimized path planning

• 0.3° steering accuracy maintained across 200ha continuous operation

• 2-minute mode switching between speed/position control
