ABSTRACT:
A rack-and-pinion steering or control system with a servomotor, especially an electric motor, which can be coupled to the rack by way of a mechanical transmission and runs continuously in one direction is provided. The rack is designed over a certain area as a screw which interacts with a recirculating ball sleeve which can be driven in two directions of rotation by the motor. To control the direction of rotation, use is made of normally disengaged clutches which can be controlled as a function of a small displacement of the recirculating ball sleeve.
