Method for triggering a coupling unit |
September 1, 2009 |
| A method for triggering an electromechanical coupling unit having at least two coupling windings, and a steering system for implementing the method, are provided. The coupling unit selectively closes, and in this manner provides a mechanical coupling, only if both coupling windings are n |

Clutch for steer-by-wire steering system |
June 19, 2007 |
| A steer-by-wire steering system has a steering wheel actuator and a braking device that acts on the steering column. The braking device is activated when the vehicle steering wheel is to be blocked or at least sharply braked, such as when the steering stop is reached or a wheel goes |
