Yaw damping for vehicle steering

The device has an actuator for controlling a main control element, a control transfer train for influencing vehicle behavior about the defined axis, vehicle turn rate, actuator position and vehicle speed sensors and a regulator that feeds a signal dependent on the detected turn rate to the control transfer train with a function for speed-dependent damping of vehicle movement about the axis independently of other vehicle behavior about this axis. The device has an actuator (1) for user control of an adjustable main control element (10) connected to the control element via a control transfer train (2) for influencing the vehicle behavior about the defined axis, a vehicle turn rate sensor (3) for a defined axis, an actuator position sensor (7), a vehicle speed sensor (6) and a regulator (4) that receives a vehicle speed signal and feeds a signal dependent on the detected turn rate to the control transfer train. The regulator has a setting function for the speed-dependent damping of vehicle movement about the defined axis independently of the other vehicle characteristics about this axis. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for controlling vehicle dynamic behavior about a defined axis.
