  • Publication number: 20250128754
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating an adjustment drive of a motor-adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle, said steering column comprising an actuating unit with a rotatably mounted steering spindle, to which a steering wheel is attached, wherein the actuating unit is adjustable by at least one adjustment drive for setting a longitudinal position and/or height position of the steering wheel, wherein in the method: a) a setpoint value of an adjustment speed of the actuating unit is predefined; b) on the basis of the setpoint value, the at least one adjustment drive is driven with a voltage signal by way of at least one controller; c) an actual value of the adjustment speed of the actuating unit is detected after a predetermined time period and is compared with the setpoint value; and d) the setpoint value is reduced depending on the result of the comparison between setpoint value and actual value until the voltage signal for driving the adjustment drive lies below the maximum value of a su

  • Patent number: 12151736
    Abstract: A steering column for a motor vehicle including a first component, a second component, wherein the first component and the second component are adjustable relative to one another in two non-parallel adjustment directions. A position detection device having a sensor connected to the first component including at least one sensor unit and a sensor target connected to the second component comprising at least one target unit, wherein the sensor is configured to detect relative position of the sensor target, wherein the target unit includes a measurement portion extending in the two adjustment directions which has a local measuring quantity varying in each of the two adjustment directions that can be detected locally by the sensor unit.
