FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: steering gear contains engine, reducer, including located in its body ball-screw gear in the form of actuator screw with actuator nut, and rack-and-pinion gear with actuator nut on toothed quadrant of steering wheel shaft. The steering gear is also provided with compensator of actuator screw deformations appearing in rack-and-pinion gear due to radial forces action when steering wheel is rotated. Deformation compensator is made as roller bearing installed on reducer body on the side opposite to toothed quadrant, and interacts with side surface of actuator nut when it travels along actuator screw.

EFFECT: higher reliability and quicker response of steering gear.
