Abstract
The invention relates to a Drive unit as part of a vehicle steering comprising a housing, mechanically connectable to the vehicle through an anti-rotation system, a rotatory output element, an interface for interfacing the control unit, including powering coils and measuring feedback to external control unit, and a motor comprising an angular position sensor, a stator and a rotor, the stator being fixedly mounted in the housing, and the rotor being rotatably mounted in the housing, wherein the output element, the stator and the rotor are coaxially arranged, wherein the motor is mechanically coupled to the output element by a differential providing an angular speed for the output element which is different from the angular speed of the rotor.
