A steering gear apparatus for a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle has a sliding rod, which has a rack with a toothing, a gear section, which has a worm gear with a worm wheel and a drive pinion extending in an axial direction (A), a motor and a steering angle sensor. The motor is connected here to the drive pinion via the worm gear so as to transmit torque, and the drive pinion is in toothed engagement with the toothing. The steering angle sensor is coupled here to the drive pinion, in particular so as to transmit torque.

Steering gear apparatus for a steer-by-wire steering system

An electrically driven rack and pinion steering system of a motor vehicle has an axially displaceably mounted rack which transmits a steering movement for steered wheels of the motor vehicle, has an electric drive which provides a steering force and interacts with the rack, and has a housing which receives the rack and a drive element of the drive. The drive element is in engagement with a toothing system of the rack. A bearing assembly is arranged on a section of the rack without a toothing system axially on each side of the drive element, with a carrier cylinder, on the outer shell face of which an outer contact seal is arranged and on the inner shell face of which an inner contact seal is arranged, the contact seals sealing the housing with respect to the rack.

The disclosure relates to an electromechanical rack and pinion steering system for a motor vehicle with an input shaft which is connected to a pinion shaft, wherein a torsion bar is arranged between the input shaft and the pinion shaft, and is directly connected to the input shaft, and the pinion shaft has a steering pinion section for interacting with a rack, and with an electric motor for driving the pinion shaft. The electric motor is connected to the pinion shaft by a transmission. An intermediate shaft piece is arranged between the pinion shaft and the input shaft. The intermediate shaft piece is connected directly to the pinion shaft and connected directly to the torsion bar.

Electromechanical rack and pinion steering system for a motor vehicle and method for producing such a rack and pinion steering system

A rack-and-pinion gear is described, which is suitable in particular for a steering system of a motor vehicle. In this a pinion is supported in a pinion housing and meshes with a rack inside this pinion housing. The rack here projects from the pinion housing through at least one housing aperture. A stop ring, which serves to limit a rack longitudinal movement and/or a tilting of the rack, is moreover held in the housing aperture by means of a press fit. In addition, a steering gear having such a rack-and-pinion gear and a steering system for a motor vehicle comprising such a steering gear are described.

Steering gear of a vehicle steering system

A device for a steering system of a motor vehicle for pressing a toothed rack against a drive pinion is specified, the device having a housing and a thrust piece which is mounted displaceably in the housing and which has a circumferential wall which is in contact with the housing, the thrust piece having, on its circumferential wall, at least one depression which runs in a circumferential direction at least in certain portions and which delimits a hollow chamber arranged between thrust piece and housing.

Device for a steering system of a motor vehicle

A steering system () for a motor vehicle, which steering system () is configured as a steer-by-wire steering system, comprises a rack (), an electric drive () for the longitudinal displacement of the rack (), and a rotatably mounted supporting element () which is spaced apart from the electric drive () along the longitudinal axis of the rack (), and the rotatably mounted supporting element () being in toothed engagement with the rack ().

Steering system for a motor vehicle

A drag link guide assembly for guiding a drag link comprises a slide bushing and a housing enclosing the slide bushing. The housing comprises a socket portion, into which the slide bushing is inserted. The slide bushing comprises a locating area for the drag link having a substantially circular cylindrical periphery with at least one plane torsional locking face. The slide bushing comprises an outward-pointing structure, which interacts with a mating structure that is provided on the internal surface of the housing. A method for producing a drag link guide assembly is furthermore described.
