  • Publication number: 20220097753
    Abstract: It is provided a steer-by-wire steering system with a steering handle which can be rotated about a rotational axis, and with a restoring torque generator which is assigned to the steering handle) for the generation of a torque which is directed counter to a rotation of the steering handle about the rotational axis. Furthermore, the steer-by-wire steering system comprises at least one elastic element, via which the restoring torque generator is supported on a supporting element which is fixed to the vehicle. The at least one elastic element has a higher stiffness in a first direction parallel to the rotational axis than in a second direction which runs substantially perpendicularly with respect to the rotational axis and, in particular, tangentially with respect to an imaginary rotational body, the axis of rotation of which coincides with the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 8631896
    Abstract: A steering wheel for a motor vehicle is provided. The steering wheel includes a steering wheel rim for rotating actuation of the steering wheel, a steering wheel hub for connecting the steering wheel with a steering shaft of a motor vehicle and a superposition drive for the actuation of a superposition steering by means of which said steering a steering angle created by actuation of the steering wheel rim can be superposed by a superposed angle that can be created by the superposition steering so that a respective rotation movement of a steering shaft connected with the steering wheel is composed of a steering angle that can be created by actuation of the steering wheel rim and a superposed angle that can be created by actuation of the superposition steering. An arresting appliance is provided on the steering wheel, separate from the components of the superposition steering for creating the superposed angle.

  • Publication number: 20120125136
    Abstract: A device for producing a shifting force or a selection force in a manual-shift transmission for a motor vehicle. The device comprises a contour element (12) and a contour-following element that co-operates with the contour element (12), one of which is deflected against the force of a spring during shifting or selection movement of a manual-shift lever. The device comprises a contour control arrangement which is in drive connection with the manual-shift lever and which comprises a second contour element (14) and a second contour-following element (18) whose element, that is deflected during a shifting or a selection movement of the manual-shift lever, actuates a friction brake (31).
