  • Steering actuator for a steering system and steering system for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 12534130
    Abstract: A steering actuator for a steering system for a motor vehicle may include an actuator rod that can be displaced in translation in a longitudinal direction thereof and a position sensor apparatus that is constructed to detect a linear position of the actuator rod. In order to enable less complex production and a higher level of operational reliability, the position sensor apparatus may include a rotation sensor that has a sensor shaft that can be rotated about an axis and that has a running wheel that can roll on a corresponding linear track of the actuator rod to convert a translational movement of the actuator rod into a rotation of the sensor shaft.
