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 electromechanical power steering in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a steering gear, wherein the steering gear is configured to transmit a rotational movement introduced by a steering device through an input side of the steering gear, to an output side of the steering gear, and wherein the power steering assembly is configured to convert 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 axle;
• an adjustable absorption unit for at least partial absorption of road-induced shocks received through the at least one wheel of the motor vehicle;
• and
• a separate preload unit, which separate preload unit is configured to interact with the adjustable absorption unit such that a predetermined preload force is applied to the adjustable absorption unit.

A method for configuring a power steering assembly for electromechanical power steering in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• integrating an adjustable absorption unit for the at least partial absorption of road-induced shocks received through a wheel of the motor vehicle into a conversion path of a steering movement of the power steering assembly;
• providing a separate preload unit;
• and
• finally setting a predetermined preload force, which predetermined preload force is applied to the adjustable absorption unit, wherein the separate preload unit compresses the adjustable absorption unit.
