ABSTRACT:
An electrical steering lock device and a related method are disclosed wherein a plate cam17has a contoured profile determined such that a lock shaft15moves inside a lock groove13at a travel speed (first speed) lower than a travel speed (second speed) at which the lock shaft15moves outside the lock groove13,enabling the lock shaft15to disengage from the lock groove13with increased torque. This results in a capability of reliably disengaging the lock shaft15from the lock groove13.
