Abstract
A linear electromechanical actuator, for a steering system of the ‘center take-off’ type in a motor vehicle comprises: two electric motors each having a stator, and a rotor, a screw mechanism having an axially stationary innerscrew coupled to the rotors of the motor for rotating about an axis, and an outer nut rotationally fixed and axially translatable along the axis, a connection block, axially translatable with the nut, for connecting the nut to two tie rods of the steering system.
