Abstract
An angle superimposition apparatus for a vehicle steering device with a planetary gear. The apparatus includes—a first shaft and a second shaft, which are arranged in a longitudinal direction so as to be rotatable relative to one another about the common longitudinal axis thereof. —A carrier arrangement is fixedly arranged to the body shell, on which carrier arrangement the first shaft and the second shaft and a rotor shaft are at least partially mounted and positioned so as to be rotatable. —An auxiliary drive with a stator is arranged on the carrier arrangement and with a rotor shaft, having a rotor, mounted rotatably and arranged coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis and one of the shafts. —A planetary gear having a worm, which is arranged as a sun wheel so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation and is arranged on the rotor shaft.
