  • Patent number: 7823688
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric power steering for a motor vehicle, that may include a gear rack (11) that is positioned axially displaceable inside a steering housing (1) and can be driven by an electric servomotor (16), arranged inside a motor housing (7), with the aid of a belt (14) and a gear (12) for assisting with the steering.
