Motor vehicle steering system has a damping arrangement that is automatically activated by a controller when a braking signal is detected in order to reduce steering system vibrations during braking

摘要

Motor vehicle steering comprises a multiplicity of moving elements, especially a steering wheel (1), steering column (4), steering gear (5), rack and steering rod (6) that act together to transmit the steering commands from the driver to the wheels (2). The steering system has an additional switchable damping arrangement (7) that serves to damp the steering system when activated. A control device (9) detects a braking signal and activates the damping arrangement.
