ABSTRACT:
A steering gear for an automotive vehicle comprises a linear electric motor electrically connected to a power source within the vehicle. The motor includes a housing, a plunger operative to move reciprocally within a stator, the plunger being linked to an axle set of roadwheels. The motor further includes a locking member meshingly engageable with the plunger and mechanism means for driving the locking member into meshing engagement with the plunger so that upon interruption of electrical power to the motor, a locking member engages the plunger to prevent the plunger from reciprocally moving within the stator.
