Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a purely exemplary steering system 48 a is shown. Steering system 48a is designed as an electrically assisted steering system and therefore has an electric power assist. Furthermore, steering system 48a is provided for use in a vehicle (not shown), in particular a motor vehicle. In the installed state, the steering system 48 a has an operative connection to the vehicle wheels of the vehicle and is provided for influencing the direction of travel of the vehicle. In principle, it is of course also conceivable to configure the steering system as a hydraulically assisted steering system, in particular as a steering system with a hydraulic power assist.

[0034] The steering system 48a has a steering device. The steering device comprises a steering handle 50a, which is designed in the present case, for example, as a steering wheel, and a steering gear 52a known per se, which serves to apply a manual steering torque, and which is provided fo...

Abstract

A steering device has a steering gear housing, which provides a sensor accommodation region; a steering sensor unit, which is situated in the sensor accommodation region when installed; a housing cover, which is provided to cover the sensor accommodation region in the axial direction when installed; and a connector unit, which can be situated in a contact recess in the steering gear housing or in the housing cover, for making, in particular direct, electrical contact with the steering sensor unit during the process of installing the connector unit, the connector unit comprising a plug unit with at least one plug element, for connection to the steering sensor unit, and a support unit. It is suggested that the connector unit comprises an elastic compensation unit, which is connected fixedly to the plug element and to the support unit and is provided to support the plug element resiliently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention proceeds from a steering device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for assembling a steering device according to the preamble of claim 15 . Furthermore, the invention relates to a steering system with such a steering device and to a plug connector unit of such a steering device. Background technique [0002] The prior art discloses steering systems for motor vehicles having a steering sensor arranged on the steering shaft for determining the steering angle and / or the steering torque exerted on the steering shaft. Such steering sensors generally comprise a sensor housing connected to the steering shaft and a sensor element arranged in the sensor housing. [0003] During the known assembly process, the sensor housing is slipped onto the steering shaft and fastened there. The steering shaft together with the sensor housing is then inserted into the assembly opening of the steering gear housing, wherein at the same time an as...
