  • Publication number: 20060150763
    Abstract: The invention relates to a steering column train (1) for a motor vehicle, having a steering spindle (2) and a steering shaft (3) which are connected to each other via a torque-transmitting joint. For axial length compensation, an axially moveable link element (4) comprising at least one coupling member (12) with two parallel pivot axes (DBO, DBU) is provided. It is the object of the invention to develop a steering column train in which the decoupling vibrations from the steering gear is improved. According to the invention, the like element (4) is coupled via a spigot cross element (17) to that end of the steering spindle (2) which lies opposite the steering wheel. In this case, the coupling member and the spigot cross element (17) are aligned with each other in such a manner that one axis of the spigot cross element (17) forms an axis of rotation (DBU) of the coupling member (12).
