ELECTROMOTIVE DRIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PUMP OF A POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to an electromotive drive, especially for the pump of a power-assisted steering system of a motor vehicle. Said drive comprises a housing (3) with a bearing journal (15) in which the shaft (18) of a rotor (9) is rotationally mounted. The drive also comprises a stator (7) with drive windings. The bearing journal (15) extends through said stator and supports it. The stator (7) is supported by the bearing journal (15) substantially only in the transversal direction. The stator (7) is coupled with the remaining housing (3) in a rotationally fixed manner so as to transmit the engine torque. The inventive design provides a means for dramatically reducing disturbing noises which especially occur when the motor is operated at full load and which are caused by relatively high-frequency torque variations.
