Energy absorbing telescopic arrangement for collapse system of e.g. steering column, of motor car, has clamping element arranged under axial form closure with section in surface area recess in region of interference fit

摘要

The arrangement has a rod-shaped shaft (1) arranged together with a strip-shaped clamping element to form an interference fit in an axially movable tubular sleeve. The shaft comprises a surface area recess (8) in a region of the interference fit, where the surface area recess forms a section (9) with a shaft surface area. The clamping element is arranged under axial form closure with the section in the surface area recess, where the clamping element is formed by a metal strip, where the surface area recess is formed in the wave surface area by a flattened annular groove.
