Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an electromechanical steering system with a steering shaft, with a magnetic torque sensor device for measuring a torque applied to the steering shaft and with a shielding element. The steering shaft comprises an input shaft which can be rotationally fixedly connected to a steering handle and penetrates through the shielding element, and an output shaft which is connected to the input shaft via a twistable torsion bar. The torque sensor device comprises a multipole magnetic ring rotationally fixedly connected to the input shaft, a stator ring element rotationally fixedly connected to the output shaft and surrounding the magnetic ring, a magnetic flux collector and a sensor for detecting a magnetic flux density. The shielding element is arranged following the magnetic ring, wherein the shielding element covering the surface of the magnetic ring and the stator ring element with respect to the steering handle.
