A plug for closing an opening of a casing, the plug including a solid hub, with central axis, as well as a retaining member which ensures the axial attachment of the plug in the opening, the plug including a play-compensating carriage, which is distinct from the hub and which is movably mounted on a guiding support borne by the hub, the guiding support being arranged in such a way as to axially retain the carriage and to guide the relative movement of the carriage with respect to the hub in a direction termed the “play-compensating direction” transverse to the central axis, a spring-type resilient member, arranged between the guiding support and the carriage, and an orientating member arranged so as to orientate the plug, and consequently the play-compensating direction defined by the guiding support, in azimuth around the central axis, according to a predetermined orientation with respect to the casing.

An actuator for the actuation of at least one movable member of a motor vehicle transmission. The actuator includes a housing, at least one electric motor having a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft extending along an axis X1, a motor pinion fixed to the opposite end of the shaft from the rotor, a circuit board for supplying power to the stator and controlling the electric motor, and a reduction mechanism driven by the motor pinion. The housing defines a first volume in which the electric motor and the circuit board are received. The circuit board is located axially along the axis X1 between the electric motor and the motor pinion. The actuator further includes a cover defining a second volume in which the reduction mechanism is received, the housing and the cover each have guides for guiding the reduction mechanism.

A steering apparatus of a vehicle includes: a dust pack housing coupled to a top portion of a dust cap, which is combined with a rack housing to surround a pinion shaft, the dust pack housing disposed between and supporting a dash panel of the vehicle and the dust cap; and a noise attenuation member disposed between the dust pack housing and the pinion shaft and having plate shape so that an inner side of the noise attenuation member is spaced apart from the pinion shaft and an outer side of the noise attenuation member is fitted to the dust pack housing to attenuate noise that is transmitted to the inside of the dust panel.

A casing of a power steering system, including at least one fastening seat of a cover, the fastening seat delimiting an orifice, the cover being intended to seal the orifice, the fastening seat including a support wall for the cover, wherein the fastening seat also includes at least one elongation portion disposed outside the support wall, the elongation portion having at least one deformation area configured to be folded over the cover.
