Abstract
A feedback actuator for a steering mechanism for motor vehicles may include a steering adjuster that acts on the steered wheels and is controlled electronically based on steering commands of a drive of the motor vehicle. The feedback actuator may transmit feedback from a road to a steering wheel via a steering shaft. Further, the feedback actuator may have a preloaded belt drive and an electric motor configured as torque-generating means. The feedback actuator may generate a torque to simulate the feedback of the road. The torque may be formed by a sum of a torque from the preloaded belt drive applied to the steering shaft and a torque from the electric motor applied to the steering shaft.
