A transducer for an electromotively driven automotive vehicle power steering system is substantially composed of a compact sensor carrier (6) which can be plugged into a corresponding opening of a steering housing (1). Semiconductor sensor elements (S1, S2) are arranged on the side of the sensor carrier (6) projecting into the interior of the steering housing (1). Outwardly, the sensor carrier (6) ends in plug contacts (12) serving to supply the sensor signals via a corresponding counter-plug to the analyzing electronics. The compact transducer which is retained in the steering housing (1) e.g. by means of steel stop springs (13) is apt for measuring the steering angle, the steering velocity and steering acceleration as well as for measuring the steering torque.

A rack and pinion steering system, especially for motor vehicles, has a toothed rack that can be axially displaced in a steering gear housing, a pinion driven by the steering wheel and actuating the toothed rack, and a spring-loaded pressure part supported in the steering gear housing which serves to generate a certain pressure between the toothed rack and the pinion. Measures to raise the coefficient of friction which come into frictional contact with each other--in each case only in the region corresponding to straight-ahead driving--are provided on one or more surfaces of the steering system. As a result of such measures to increase the coefficient of friction at certain friction points in the steering system relating to straight-ahead motion of the vehicle, it is a simple matter to achieve an increase in steering torque in the center region of the steering system without the need for geometrical changes to the steering system or an increase in the pressure between the toothed rack and the pinion. The steering torque increase resulting from increased friction in the center region of the steering system compensates for the wear effects which are known to occur there after the vehicle has been operated for some time.

A resilient mount is disclosed comprising a spring element retained between two mount retaining means and a controllable magnet fastened to one of the two mount retaining means. The magnet is adapted to cooperate with a magnetically responsive element to vary the spring characteristic of the resilient mount on a continuous basis with the magnetically responsive element fixed inside the spring element.
