An electric actuator for a steering system is adapted to control an angle of steered wheels on a vehicle to adjust a direction of travel of the vehicle. The electric actuator includes a housing assembly, an electric motor, and an actuation unit. The housing assembly is arranged around the electric motor and the electric motor is coupled with the actuation unit and configured to cause an actuator rod of the actuation unit to move relative to the housing assembly.

A rear wheel steering apparatus may include: a driving part housed in a housing part; a rotating part rotated by the driving part; a moving shaft part connected to tie rods, and screwed to the rotating part; a spline plate spline-coupled to the moving shaft part so as to restrict rotation of the moving shaft part; and a space maintaining part protruding from the moving shaft part or the spline plate, and maintaining a space between the moving shaft part and the spline plate.

Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle configured to perform steering assist control and driving support control based on a motor control amount, the control apparatus being further configured to correct the motor control amount such that a specific steering amount in a second period becomes smaller than that in a first period, the specific steering amount being an amount of change in a steering angle required for a magnitude of a steering torque to reach a torque threshold, the first period being a period from a first time point at which a driving support operation state is changed to an on state to a second time point at which a driving operation switching request is issued, and the second period being a period from the second time point to a third time point at which the driving support operation state is changed to an off state.

A steering apparatus includes a first CAN communication line provided between a steering input mechanism and a steering mechanism controller and configured to output a first steering operation amount signal output from a first steering operation amount signal output portion to the steering mechanism controller, and a communication line provided between the steering input mechanism and the steering mechanism controller and configured to output a second steering operation amount signal to the steering mechanism controller without intervention of a first microprocessor.

The disclosure relates to a linear actuator, the housing of which encloses a pushrod which is guided displaceably along a longitudinal axis. The linear actuator includes a linear travel sensor intended for determining a position of the pushrod. A housing-side position receiver of the linear travel sensor includes a receiver section extending along the longitudinal axis, and a pushrod-side position transmitter that interacts contactlessly with the position receiver. The position transmitter is made from an electrically conductive material, and a transmitter contour of the linear travel sensor is curved about at least one dimensional axis.

An electromechanical motor vehicle steering system includes a steering column, a steering rack, a steering pinion that couples the steering column to the steering rack, and an electric drive device with an electric motor and a worm wheel arranged on the steering pinion. The steering rack is arranged between the worm wheel of the electric drive device and the steering column.

A method for controlling a steer-by-wire steering system in a motor vehicle, wherein, by means of an operator element to be actuated by an operator, a control command for actuating a steering actuator acting on at least one wheel to be steered is output, and wherein, by means of a force application element acting on the operator element and in operative connection with the steering actuator, an actuation force for the operator element is set. In the case of a disturbance of the force application element, the steering actuator is actuated so that the control command applied by the operator element is transmitted only in a damped manner to the steering actuator.

A rack bar assembly for a rack electric power steering system is provided. The rack bar assembly includes a first rack bar extending axially. The rack bar assembly also includes a second rack bar extending axially, wherein the first rack bar and the second rack bar are spaced a radial distance from each other and oriented parallel to each other.
