A securing element () made of sheet metal with an annular body () and with holding tongues () which emerge from the annular body () and end at a hole () in the securing element (), which hole is centered with respect to the center axis () of the securing element (), wherein the hole () leads axially in the same direction as the center axis () through the securing element () and, at radial narrowest hole cross sections of the hole (), is bounded at least by end edges () formed on the end sides of the holding tongues ().

Securing element, a steering bearing comprising a securing element, and a steering column comprising a steering bearing and a securing element

A securing element () with an annular body () and with holding tongues () which emerge from the annular body () and end at a hole () in the securing element (), which hole is centered with respect to the center axis () of the securing element (), wherein the hole () leads axially in the same direction as the center axis () through the securing element () and, at the radial narrowest points of the hole (), is bounded at least by end edges () formed on the end sides of the holding tongues (), and wherein in each case at least two surfaces () bounding part of the holding tongue () meet and end at the respective end edge (), and of which one of the surfaces () is formed on the front side of the holding tongue ().

A chiplessly made angular contact bearing comprising an outer ring (,) and an inner ring (,) is configured as a self-retaining unit by the fact that the inner ring (,) comprises uniformly spaced resilient retaining tabs (,) which, as viewed in longitudinal cross-section, comprise two sections (,) that are disposed angularly relative to each other and separated by a vertex (,), the diameter of the retaining tabs (,) is largest at the vertex (,) and the diameter of the axially outer section (,) of the retaining tabs (,) is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring (,).
