| Abstract | The invention relates to a rack-and-pinion gear mechanism (
1
), for example for use in a steering mechanism of a motor vehicle, and to a method for the production of the rack-and-pinion gear mechanism (
1
). The mechanism comprises a housing (
101
), in which a pinion shaft (
102
) is mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis (
103
). The pinion shaft (
102
) is connected to a rack (
110
) which is mounted in the housing (
101
) in such a way as to be longitudinally displaceable. A counter-pressure device (
102, 123
) compensates for reaction forces between the pinion shaft (
102
) and the rack (
110
), having a thrust piece (
102
) and an adjusting/closing nut (
25
), between which a spring (
123
) is supported. The adjusting/closing nut (
25
) is composed of a material which has a softening/melting point such that the adjusting/closing nut (
25
) can be softened and/or melted locally while installed in the housing (
101
) without damaging the housing (
101
). Softened and/or melted and resolidified partial areas of the adjusting/closing nut (
25
) are in form-locking engagement with the housing (
101
). |
