Abstract
A steering gear having a gearwheel (), a pinion shaft () which meshes with the former and is mounted such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis which lies transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis () of the pinion shaft (), wherein the pinion shaft () is loaded against the gearwheel () by means of a spring element which is integrated into a locating bearing () for the pinion shaft (), which locating bearing () forms the pivot axis (), and wherein the pinion shaft () is mounted in a floating bearing () such that is spaced apart axially from the pivot axis, which floating bearing () ensures mobility of the pinion shaft () which makes pivoting of the pinion shaft () about the pivot axis possible, wherein the floating bearing () comprises an outer part and an inner part which is arranged movably in a radial direction with respect to the outer part, is characterized by a stop element () which limits the radial mobility of the inner part and can be positioned differently with regard to a stop surface which is provided for contact with the inner part.
