Abstract
The disclosure relates to an adjusting unit for a steering system of a vehicle having an adjusting motor, a spindle, and a spindle nut. Rotation of the spindle via the adjusting motor produces an axial movement of the spindle nut along the spindle. A pull-out device with a pull-out support is arranged on the body of the vehicle. At least one inner pull-out element of the pull-out support is coupled to a steering shaft. A crash element is configured as a sleeve that extends between the spindle nut and the inner pull-out element. The sleeve is coupled to the spindle nut via at least one securing element that is released in the event of a specified impact force (F), and the sleeve moves axially relative to the spindle nut, resulting in plasticizing of an outer contour of the spindle nut and an inner contour of the sleeve.
