Abstract
A steering column for a motor vehicle comprises an axially extending steering shaft which is mounted in a steering column housing so as to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis, and a revolution limiter for delimiting the rotation of the steering shaft relative to the steering column housing, wherein the revolution limiter has a driver which is connected to the steering shaft, a housing which is connected to the steering column housing and an activation member which is operatively disposed between the driver and the housing and is twistable relative to the steering shaft and relative to the housing, and an activation projection that is able to impact a driver projection of the driver in the circumferential direction, and a detent projection which is able to impact a housing projection of the housing in the circumferential direction. In order to enable a larger rotating angle in a compact construction mode, the invention proposes that the detent projection and the housing projection project so as to be directed axially towards one another, and the activation member is displaceable relative to the steering shaft axially between a detent position and a pass position, wherein disposed between the driver and the activation member is an axially acting lifting device which is designed to move the activation member axially between the detent position and the pass position.
