A steering device which is configured as a steer-by-wire steering device includes a steering shaft disposed for rotation in a circumferential direction, a casing tube at least partially encompassing the steering shaft where the steering shaft is fixed in relation to the casing tube in an axial direction of the steering shaft, a sleeve encompassing the steering shaft, and a locking device. The steering shaft has an external thread which meshes with an internal thread of the sleeve. The sleeve is form-fitted into the casing tube such that the sleeve is displaceable in relation to the casing tube in the axial direction and is fixed in the circumferential direction. A lateral surface of the sleeve has a recess. The locking device and the recess are disposed such that the locking device is engageable into the recess in an axial position of the sleeve.

Steering device, motor vehicle having such a steering device, and method for operating such a steering device

A spindle drive for the height adjustment of an electrically adjustable steering column and the steering includes an adjustment spindle rotatably mounted in two bearings. The adjustment spindle includes two clamping elements, which have a centering cone on their sides facing one another, and the adjustment spindle is arranged in a tensioned manner on the two bearings by means of the clamping element, in that the clamping elements abut on the outer sides of the centering cones facing away from one other. The outer sides of the bearings are formed having a counter contour to the respectively abutting centering cone.

Spindle drive for the height adjustment of an electrically adjustable steering column

A motor vehicle steering column includes a bracket fixed to the vehicle and a steering column tube. The steering column tube may be adjusted in inclination relative to the bracket fixed to the vehicle via an adjusting device. The adjusting device includes a lever which is mounted pivotably on the bracket and may be deflected about a pivot axis by a driving device. The motor vehicle steering column may permit a maximum inclination setting irrespective of the available construction space. A deflecting clamp which is connected pivotably to the steering column tube is coupled to an output end of the lever.

Motor vehicle steering column

A steering column for a motor vehicle has a steering shaft rotatably mounted in a tubular jacket. The tubular jacket is secured on two rails extending substantially in an axial direction and fixed on the bodywork. The tubular jacket is guided between the rails in the event of an axial displacement in case of a crash. At least one rail is assigned at least one deformation element which is secured at least at one end on the rail and is plastically deformable, with absorption of energy, in the event of an axial displacement of the tubular jacket in a manner such that it is deformed by rolling friction via deflection structure fixedly disposed on the tubular jacket.

Steering column for a motor vehicle

A positional adjustment apparatus is provided for a steering column of a motor vehicle. A tubular jacket is fixed on two rails disposed substantially opposite one another, the rails extending in an axial direction of the tubular jacket and having slots extending in the axial direction for longitudinal adjustment of the steering column. Clamping bolts are provided that are guided through the slots in the rails and extend substantially in a radial direction away from the tubular jacket. At least one clamping bolt passes through a rail for vertical adjustment. Longitudinal and vertical adjustments are secured and released by means of an operating lever. The securing and releasing of the longitudinal and vertical adjustments takes place via a cam disc actuatable by the operating lever.
