A steering column arrangement for a motor vehicle may include a guide part for rotatably mounting a steering shaft about a longitudinal axis, a guide box that is mountable on the motor vehicle and in which the guide part is arranged displaceably along the longitudinal axis, and a clamping system that is for locking the guide part in the guide box and that is switchable between a locked state where the guide part is secured relative to the guide box and a released state where the guide part is displaceable relative to the guide box in a direction of the longitudinal axis, and first and second contact surfaces disposed between the guide box and the guide part. In the released state the first contact surface is in first frictional contact with a surface of the guide part that opposes a displacement of the guide part along the longitudinal axis relative to the guide box. In the locked state the second contact surface is in second frictional contact with a surface of the guide part wherein a frictional force designed as a holding force acts between the guide box and the guide part.

Adjustable steering column having improved rigidity

The invention relates to a manual torque adjuster for a motor vehicle steering system, having an electric motor (), which has a pinion which is arranged on a motor shaft () on the output side of said electric motor (), which pinion drives a belt pulley () via a toothed belt (), and having a sensor unit (), which is suitable for sensing the position of the motor and which is connected to an electronic controller which controls the electric motor (), characterized in that the sensor unit () is arranged near to the output-side end of the motor shaft ().

Disclosed is a receptacle for a control circuit that controls an electric motor for power assistance in a vehicle steering system. The receptacle includes a housing for holding the control circuit, wherein the housing has an opening to allow insertion of the control circuit into the housing, and a baseplate for dust-tight closure of the opening of the housing in an end position, wherein the baseplate and the housing can be connected to one another in a dust-tight fashion in a delivery position which is different from the end position.

Disclosed is a front axle support for a motor vehicle having support members, which comprise holders for mounting wheel guidance members, and a transverse structure, which forms a housing of a steering gear, wherein the support members are connected to the transverse structure by weld joints. In a first teaching, the front axle support according to the invention is characterized in that the support members are in the form of longitudinal supports, a portion of each longitudinal support being formed from sheet metal shells welded together, and in that the transverse structure is in the form of a transverse support and is formed from a steering gear housing made of steel.

An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle includes a steering shaft that is mounted in such a manner as to be able to rotate about its axis in an adjusting part, a holding clamp attached to the vehicle for holding the steering column, a holding part, and a fixing device that is opened and closed to allow the adjustment or fixing of the position of steering shaft. The holding clamp includes side cheeks which can be drawn together by closing the fixing device and as a consequence the holding part can be clamped. The holding clamp is formed as a once-piece component and the holding part is swivel mounted on a swivel pin in the holding clamp.
