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 has an outer jacket tube as well as an inner jacket tube, which is displaceable within the former, as well as an adjusting device effective between the two jacket tubes for displacing one jacket tube in relation to the other jacket tube. The adjusting device comprises a drive unit and a servo component. The drive unit should be releasably fastened to a guiding device, and the drive unit should be mounted in a fashion permitting displacement along the guiding device.
