A steering device for a vehicle includes a steering rod and at least one drive unit, wherein the steering rod can be displaced along its longitudinal extent by the drive unit. The steering device also includes at least one first sensor device for determining a displacement position of the steering rod. The steering rod, as seen along its longitudinal extent, exhibits at least one change in its cross section, in particular diameter, wherein the first sensor device is designed to sense the change.

Steering device

An electromechanical steering system for a vehicle comprises a steering shaft, which is mounted rotatably in an accommodating space of a steering housing, and an electric motor, which, acts upon steering shaft over a transmission. Furthermore, a coil spring housing with a coil spring is provided in the accommodating space. The accommodating space is divided by a partition into a section accommodating the coil spring and a section accommodating the transmission. A damping almond is integrated in the partition. The housing of the coil spring forms part of the partition.

Electromechanical steering system for a vehicle

In a method for fastening a torque measurement device for detecting a relative torque between an input shaft and an output shaft of a steering system, e.g., of a rack-and-pinion power-assisted steering system, the torque measurement device is integrally formed locally into the input shaft and/or the output shaft by deformation elements.

Method for attaching a torque measuring device

An electrically supported power steering system for motor vehicles includes an input shaft, which is mechanically linked to a steering wheel for transmitting a steering torque required for steering of wheels to be steered. An output element is mechanically linked to the wheels to be steered. An electric motor, through which a servo force can be applied directly or indirectly to the output element, is arranged on the power steering system. The input shaft and the output element are connected to one another via a torsion bar. A detection unit for detection of a torque acting on the input shaft and of other steering-specific parameters includes a single pulse generator designed as a magnet ring and at least one magnetoresistive sensor.
