Abstract: An electromechanical power steering system for a motor vehicle may include a driving worm that is driven by an electric motor and acts on a worm gear that is coupled to a steering shaft. The driving worm may be mounted in such a way that it can rotate about its worm axis. More particularly, the driving worm may be mounted in a bearing that is held in a mount. The mount may prestress the driving worm in a direction of the worm gear. In some examples, the mount is torsionally weak about a torsion axis that is positioned perpendicularly with respect to the worm axis.

Abstract: A steering shaft for a motor vehicle steering system may be used with a steering assistance means. The steering shaft may include an output shaft and a carrier that is connected rotationally conjointly to the output shaft. A worm gear toothing may be disposed on the radially outer region of the carrier. The worm gear toothing may comprise plastic and may form a worm gear for connection to the steering assistance means. Further, the carrier may be formed in one piece with the output shaft.

Abstract: An example steering shaft for a motor vehicle steering system for use with a power assistance system may include an input shaft, an output shaft, and a torsion bar. The torsion bar may connect the input and output shafts in a torsionally elastic manner for purposes of transmitting a torque, in many cases from the input shaft to the output shaft. In particular, a joining section of the torsion bar may be connected to a joining socket of one or more of the input shaft or the output shaft. The joining section may include partial elevations for forming a nonpositive and positive connection to the joining socket.
