Abstract: A steering column arrangement for motor vehicles with a vehicle-side console, on which an outer tube of a steering column carrying a steering shaft is attached in a releasable manner by means of a clamping device. The clamping device comprises at least one clamping wedge arrangement by which an increased holding force of the clamping device can be achieved during an axial displacement of the outer tube caused by an accident.

Abstract: A steering column arrangement has a steering column tube unit which is fastened to a vehicle body via a bracket and can be adjusted for comfort purposes. The bracket has two limbs. The steering column tube unit is arranged with a clamping apparatus between the two limbs. In order to adjust the clamping apparatus simply, the limbs are configured with different rigidities.

Abstract: A clamping device includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, the first clamping plate being rotatable between a released position and a clamped position in relation to the second clamping plate. The clamping device further includes a rolling body which establishes contact between the first and second clamping plates. The second clamping plate includes a clamping ramp with a contour for the rolling body so that when the clamping plates are rotated in relation to each other, the space between the clamping plates changes. The first clamping plate has a surface which forms a plane on which the rolling body rolls from the released position to the clamped position.

Abstract: The application describes a clamping device for a steering column, in which a first clamping plate element is rotatable between a released position and a clamped position in relation to a second clamping plate element, wherein a rolling body which establishes contact is provided between the clamping plate elements. The second clamping plate element comprises a clamping ramp with a contour for the rolling body so that when the clamping plate elements are rotated in relation to each other, the space between the clamping plate elements changes. One clamping plate element comprises a surface which forms a plane on which the rolling body rolls from the released position to the clamped position.

Abstract: A safety steering column for a motor vehicle, with a casing tube which is arranged concentrically to a steering shaft and is fastened to the vehicle body and which, in the event of an axial impact action, can be shortened while at the same time absorbing energy. The casing tube consists of two casing-tube parts and the displacement force between the two casing-tube parts can be set. Arrange between the two casing-tube parts is a connecting element which is fastened to one of the casing-tube parts and is pressed with a predetermined force into a groove introduced into the other casing-tube part.
