Abstract: An electromechanical vehicle steering system comprising a housing, an electric motor having an axis of rotation, and a drop arm. The drop arm is axially movable in the direction of a longitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis extends in parallel with the axis of rotation of the electric motor. A gearbox couples the electric motor to the drop arm to translate a rotational movement of the electric motor into a linear movement of the drop arm. The gearbox comprises a toothed belt drive and a ball screw drive. A ball screw nut of the ball screw drive is in engagement with the drop arm and supports the drop arm. A toothed belt is tensioned by the adjustable bearing. The drop arm is also supported in the housing by a guide bush. The position of the guide bush can be adjusted in the housing radially to the drop arm.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system for a motor vehicle, comprising: a steering rack for transmitting a steering movement to wheels of the motor vehicle, a steering motor for driving a steering movement, a steering gear having a steering angle pinion for transmitting the steering movement of the steering motor to the steering rack, a gear wheel coupled to the steering angle pinion for determining an initial position of the steering rack when the motor vehicle is started. The gear wheel is configured relative to the steering angle pinion and arranged inside the steer-by-wire steering system in such a way that the gear wheel covers a complete steering range of the steering rack when the steering rack is moved over the steering angle pinion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a toothed belt (10a, 10b) with two mutually oppositely arranged running surfaces (2, 4), wherein, on the running surfaces (2, 4), there are arranged toothings (12, 14) arranged obliquely with respect to the axial direction (X), wherein the obliquity is defined in each case by helix angles (16, 18) between the axial direction (X) and the direction of the tooth flanks of the respective toothings (12, 14). It is provided that the helix angle (16) of the first toothing (12) is oriented oppositely to the helix angle (18) of the second toothing (14).

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for measuring a torque in a force-feedback actuator for a steer-by-wire steering system has a housing element, a control unit, a drive apparatus, and a transmission apparatus to be coupled to a steering device. At least one motion sensor detects a motion of the transmission apparatus relative to the housing element and provide a motion signal resulting from the motion to the control unit. The transmission apparatus is coupled to the housing element by way of at least one reset-reversible adjusting device which has at least one mechanical property. A torque of the transmission apparatus, and thus of a connectable steering device, may be ascertained by the control unit using the at least one mechanical property, which has at least one changing state value during the movement of the transmission apparatus, in combination with the motion signal.

Abstract: An electromechanical motor vehicle steering system includes a steering column, a steering rack, a steering pinion that couples the steering column to the steering rack, and an electric drive device with an electric motor and a worm wheel arranged on the steering pinion. The steering rack is arranged between the worm wheel of the electric drive device and the steering column.
