POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY WITH TARGETED AND ADJUSTABLE COMPENSATION OF ROADSIDE SHOCK PULSES TO THE STEERING GEAR AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING A POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY

A power steering assembly for an electromechanical power steering system of motor vehicles, in particular utility vehicles, includes a steering gear, the steering gear being designed to transmit a rotational movement introduced by a steering element such as a steering wheel, via an input side of the steering gear, to an output side of the steering gear. The power steering assembly converts a movement derived from the output side of the steering gear into a rotational movement of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle about a steering axis. An adjustable absorption unit is provided for at least partially absorbing roadside shocks which have been absorbed via the wheel of the motor vehicle. A separate preloading unit is designed to interact with the adjustable absorption unit such that a predetermined preloading force is exerted onto the adjustable absorption unit.
