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

Toothed belt comprising running surfaces provided on opposite sides and having tooth systems, the helix angles of the tooth systems being oriented in opposite directions, and associated toothed belt gear

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.

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.
