The disclosure relates to a method for adjusting a steering apparatus for a vehicle, in which a steering column is adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the steering column and/or in respect of an inclination of the steering column by an electromechanical adjustment device, and in which the adjustment device is controlled by a control device. In order to improve the operability of the electromechanical adjustment device for a user, the method comprises an adjustment force for adjusting the steering column being introduced into the steering apparatus via a steering wheel, wherein an adjustment signal which is dependent on the adjustment force is detected and/or generated, the adjustment signal being transmitted to the control device and the steering column being adjusted on the basis of the adjustment signal.

Method for adjusting a steering apparatus for a vehicle, and steering apparatus for a vehicle

A steering column assembly for a motor vehicle, having an outer tube which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner, a telescopic steering column which is received at least in part in the outer tube, and a rotary drive which is adapted to telescopically adjust the telescopic steering column, wherein the telescopic steering column comprises a first steering column portion and a second steering column portion which surrounds the first steering column portion at least in part. The two steering column portions are coupled with one another in a telescopic portion. in such a manner that they are telescopically displaceable relative to one another. The rotary drive is in engagement with the first steering column portion so that the rotary drive transfers a force to the first steering column portion in order to telescopically adjust the telescopic steering column.

A hydraulic device has an inlet side and an outlet side and includes two meshing cogwheels. Each cogwheel has external oblique teeth and is arranged between an inlet side and an outlet side. At least one control groove is provided on an end side of the cogwheels. The control groove periodically produces a pressure equalizing connection during the rotation of the cogwheels.
