An electromechanical power steering system for a vehicle may include a worm that can be driven rotationally about a drive axis by an electric motor, that interacts with a worm gear that is coupled to a steering shaft, and that is mounted such that it can be rotated about the drive axis in a bearing that is held in a holder. The holder may be movable relative to the worm gear. To make a decreased development of noise possible, the holder has a core element that is made from a core material and is connected to at least one contact element. The contact element may be made from a soft material that can be deformed elastically more easily and is softer relative to the core material.

Power-assisted steering system for a motor vehicle

An electromechanical power steering system having an electric servo motor having a motor shaft. The electric servo motor drives a shaft which meshes with a helical wheel. The shaft is rotatably supported in a gear mechanism housing. The motor shaft is coupled to the shaft in a rotationally secure manner by a coupling which compensates for an axial offset. The shaft at the end thereof close to the motor is supported in a bearing in the gear mechanism housing so as to be able to be rotated about a rotation axis and is pivotably supported about a pivot axis which is perpendicular to the rotation axis in such a manner that the pivot axis is arranged in the region of the coupling.

Electromechanical power steering system having a pivotable bearing for a helical gearing

An electromechanical servo steering system may include an electric servomotor that drives a worm shaft that meshes with a worm wheel arranged on a steering shaft. The worm wheel is operatively connected to an input shaft of a steering gear mechanism, and the worm shaft and the steering shaft are rotatably mounted in a common gear mechanism housing. The worm shaft has a free end that is remote from the motor and an end that is close to the motor. The end that is remote from the motor is mounted in a rolling bearing, and the end that is close to the motor has a rolling bearing that is received in an eccentric lever.
