A steering column arrangement for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger motor vehicle, is disclosed. The steering column arrangement has a console and a steering column that is mounted between respective console arms by intercession of an intermediate section, in particular a casing pipe box. The steering column is set releasably on the console by a clamping device where the clamping device includes at least one wedge pair that is held on the console by a support element. The wedge pair has respective clamping wedges where the clamping wedges adjoin each other directly and the wedge pair is supported on its side facing away from the intermediate section, in particular the casing pipe box, by the support element.

Steering column arrangement for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle steering column includes an inner jacket pipe that receives a steering spindle, which is received in a longitudinally adjustable manner in an outer jacket pipe held on a steering console and having a hollow cross-section. The steering column also includes a clamping device, by means of which the inner jacket pipe can be releasably secured in its adjusted longitudinal position relative to the outer jacket pipe. The outer jacket pipe has a recess at least over a longitudinal region, whereby its hollow cross-section can be altered by the clamping device.

Steering column for a motor vehicle

A steering column arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a bracket, to which a jacket tube of a steering column supporting a steering shaft is releasably fixed by a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes at least one clamping part that is supple in the transverse direction (y direction) of the steering column arrangement and rigid in shear terms in the longitudinal direction (x direction and z direction) of the steering column arrangement.

Steering column assembly for a motor vehicle

A steering column arrangement for motor vehicles with a vehicle-side console, on which an outer tube of a steering column carrying a steering shaft is attached in a releasable manner by means of a clamping device. The clamping device comprises at least one clamping wedge arrangement by which an increased holding force of the clamping device can be achieved during an axial displacement of the outer tube caused by an accident.

Steering column arrangement for motor vehicles

A steering column assembly has a bracket situated fixed on a vehicle, and a rotatable steering column, which has a column jacket and a steering shaft mounted therein. The steering column has modifiable tilt and length and a clamping mechanism for fixing the steering column. The steering column is connected via a bracket slide to a bracket. The bracket slide is displaceably mounted on the bracket, and an energy absorbing element is situated to absorb energy during a displacement of the bracket slide in relation to the bracket.

Steering column assembly comprising a steering column the tilt and length of which can be modified

A clamping device includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, the first clamping plate being rotatable between a released position and a clamped position in relation to the second clamping plate. The clamping device further includes a rolling body which establishes contact between the first and second clamping plates. The second clamping plate includes a clamping ramp with a contour for the rolling body so that when the clamping plates are rotated in relation to each other, the space between the clamping plates changes. The first clamping plate has a surface which forms a plane on which the rolling body rolls from the released position to the clamped position.

Clamping device for a steering column

A steering spindle arrangement having a first component remote from the steering wheel and a second component near the steering wheel, with one of the mutually facing ends of the one component dipping into the hollow end of the other component, and with the two ends being connected frictionally to each other, is disclosed. Furthermore, a method for producing the arrangement is disclosed. In order, in a simple manner, to obtain as specific a definition as possible of the absorption by the steering spindle of the deformation energy in the event of a crash while ensuring that the arrangement is durable and directly transmits the steering moment, it is provided that the walls of the two ends lie directly on each other in the form of a press fit over the region of the frictional connection.

Steering spindle arrangement and a method for the production thereof

The invention relates to a casing tube of a steering column of a motor vehicle, the tube comprising two telescopic tube sections which are connected frictionally to each other in a press fit and, in the event of a crash, can be displaced relative to each other over an axial displacement path. In order, in the case of a vehicle accident, in a simple manner firstly to prevent a hard impact of the driver on the steering wheel and secondly to achieve the greatest possible absorption of impact energy, the tube sections are connected frictionally to each other over the entire displacement path. Furthermore, a method for producing a casing tube of this type is disclosed.
