Abstract: A speed reducer includes: a case, a worm disposed in a housing of the case and including a proximal portion coupled to an input shaft, a worm wheel coupled to an output shaft and arranged so as to be driven in rotation by the worm, a proximal bearing holding the proximal portion of the worm in the housing, a distal bearing holding a distal portion of the worm, the distal bearing being disposed in a cylindrical distal portion of the housing, a spring held fixed in the distal portion of the housing around the distal bearing, the spring including at least one elastic blade disposed and shaped to bear on the case and to exert forces on the distal bearing in a direction towards the worm wheel.

Abstract: A power steering system for a motor vehicle, having a steering column integrating an upper shaft and an intermediate shaft rotatably linked and movable in translation relative to one another, an upper tube and a lower tube rotatably linked and movable in translation relative to one another, the upper shaft being movable in rotation and linked in translation within the upper tube, and an assist module integrating an output shaft linked in rotation with the intermediate shaft via a torsion bar, a reducer having a worm screw driven by an assist motor and which meshes on a worm wheel linked to the output shaft; and an angle measuring device having an inductive sensor carried by an annular support having a central orifice dimensioned so as to let the upper tube pass, a lower target securely mounted around the output shaft and an upper target.

Abstract: A power steering system for a motor vehicle, including a steering column integrating an upper shaft and an intermediate shaft connected in rotation and relatively movable in translation, an upper tube and a lower tube connected in rotation and relatively movable in translation, the upper shaft being movable in rotation and connected in translation in the upper tube, and an assist module integrating an output shaft connected in rotation to the intermediate shaft via a torsion bar, a reducer including a worm screw driven by an assist motor and which meshes on a tangent wheel connected to the output shaft; and an angle measuring device including an inductive sensor, a lower target mounted secured to the output shaft and an upper target secured to an upper lateral face of a core made of a plastic material of the tangent wheel.

Abstract: A part intended to be folded so as to form an upper part of a power steering support element of a vehicle, made of a flat plate including: at least one attachment area for attaching the upper part to a vehicle chassis, at least one extension area to be positioned in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which the attachment area extends, and at least one folding area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gear reducer (1) for an assisted-steering module, including a casing (3), a worm (4) which meshes with a worm wheel (6), and a spring (10) for taking up gear play, which presses said worm (4) radially against the worm wheel (6), the wall of the casing (3) being bored, away from of the axis (XX?) of the worm, with an opening (14) sealed by a plug (15), the spring (10) for taking up gear play including at least one retaining lug (17, 18) which projects radially to the axis (XX?) of the worm (4), and the hub (20) of the plug (15) having a guiding wall (21) that is substantially transverse to the axis (XX?) of the worm (4), which is designed to be placed axially opposite said at least one retaining lug (17, 18), in order to prevent the axial movement of the spring (10) beyond a predetermined functional travel.
