Abstract: The invention relates to a rack and pinion steering system for a motor vehicle, comprising a steering box (2) in which a rack is displaceably mounted, and a thrust piece bore (1) accommodating a thrust piece which is forced against the rack by means of a set screw (11) screwed into a thread zone (6, 7). The invention is characterised in that a groove (8) is cut in the thread zone (6, 7) of the thrust piece bore radially outwards and a sealing ring (16) is inserted in said groove (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to a steering device for vehicles with a double-acting hydraulic working cylinder, which is divided into two working chambers by a piston, which is displaceably mounted in the working cylinder, to pivot at least one vehicle wheel, and a pressurizing means device producing a volume flow of a hydraulic medium, the hydraulic medium being supplied to a rotary slide valve, which supplies the volume flow, depending on the rotary slide valve position, to the working chambers of the double-acting hydraulic working cylinder or to a reservoir for the hydraulic medium, wherein when a certain pressure is exceeded in the feed line to the rotary slide valve, a pressure relief valve guides at least a part of the total volume flow of the hydraulic medium past the rotary slide valve in particular to the reservoir.

Abstract: A control valves for a servo steering system, having an inlet for supplying a hydraulic liquid at a first pressures and an outlet for discharging the hydraulic liquid into a region having a smaller, second pressure, especially into a pressureless reservoir. The control valve has a guide and a valve slide accommodated in the guide so as to be movable therein along an axis. The valve slide is acted upon on one side by the hydraulic liquid with the first pressure and on the opposite side by a defined supporting force. An opening structure is provided on at least one of the valve slide and guide. A cover corresponding to the opening structure is provided on the other of the guide and valve slide. A movement of the valve slide relative to the guide effects a change of a free passage area of the opening structure that is not closed off by the cover, whereby the hydraulic liquid is able to flow from the inlet, through the free passage area, to the outlet.

Abstract: A retroactive device as part of a hydraulic servo-steering system that also includes a hydraulic servo-valve device, the retroactive device comprising an arrangement for hydraulically producing a restoring moment into a central position that produces the restoring moment as a function of the pressure differential between a pressure side and a low-pressure side. The system has at least one valve arrangement that, when pressure is applied in the central position of the servo-valve, is adapted to produce a pressure differential between the external and internal chambers of the valve. The valve arrangement is disposed hydraulically in series with the retroactive device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic power-assisted steering system for motor vehicles, with a valve and two hydraulic lines leading from the valve to cylinders of a servo drive mechanism and with at least one steering damper, the steering damper having a basic body 4 which is arranged movably along a path in a working chamber 3 and delimits with an outer wall 2 of the working chamber 3 a first channel through which hydraulic fluid can flow.

Abstract: A positioning device for adjusting a motor vehicle operating lever with feedback from the respective position of a controllable part. At least one part is controllable by at least one operating lever in the form of a so-called side-stick. The motor vehicle steerable wheels can be, in particular, the controllable part.

Abstract: A servovalve, in particular for hydraulic power-assisted steering systems of motor vehicles, is in the form of a rotary spool valve with a rotary spool and a control bush, which coaxially surrounds the rotary spool and can be rotated against spring force relative to the rotary spool. A bearing, by which the control bush and the rotary spool are secured axially relative to one another, is integrated into the rotary spool valve.

Abstract: A reaction arrangement on a hydraulic servo-valve arrangement which is designed in the manner of a rotary-slide arrangement, with a rotary slide and with a control bush coaxially surrounding the rotary slide and rotatable relative to the latter, in particular for power steering systems of motor vehicles. Arranged on a shaft part located on the rotary-slide side are axial V-grooves, into which reaction bodies can be pressed with controllable hydraulic pressure. The reaction bodies are guided radially on a bush portion connected fixedly in terms of rotation to the control bush.
