Device for pressing screw or sprocket on worm wheel or screw gear, for use in electric power steering system of motor car, has pressure element whose axial movement relative to adjusting element is realized in direction of gear

摘要

The device has a movably guided pressure element (7) that is pressed against screw or sprocket (1) in housing (6) by the force of spring. An adjusting element (11) is arranged in the axial direction of pressure element between front stop element (12) and rear stop element (9). The adjusting element is made to cooperate with the pressure element such that the removal of pressure element from worm gear or helical gear (2) in the helical direction is prevented and the axial movement of pressure element relative to adjusting element is realized in the direction of gear.
