Steering device
First Claim
1. Steering device with a steering angle transducer, a steering drive having a motor having an output shaft and a first gear, at least one wheel driven by the steering drive and a sensor arrangement having detection device for detecting an angle position of the wheel, the detection device producing a reference signal for at least one reference position of the steering device, the detection device being connected to the motor via a second gear, the second gear having a gear ratio equal to a product of all gear ratios between the output shaft of the motor and the driven wheel.

Abstract
A steering device with a steering angle transducer, a steering drive having a motor and a first gear, at least one wheel driven by the steering drive and a sensor arrangement for detecting the angle position of the wheel with a detection device, which produces a reference signal for at least one reference position of the steering device. In this connection, it is desired to improve the reliability of the steering device. For this purpose, the detection device is connected with the motor via a second gear.
