    摘要: A quick coupling system for a steering wheel with a steering wheel-side coupling part and a vehicle-side coupling part, which may be pushed together along a longitudinal axis to mechanically engage with one another in a positive locking manner in an assembled state. The vehicle-side coupling part has an engagement element and the steering wheel-side coupling part has an element complementary thereto, which can engage only with the correct orientation with respect to the longitudinal axial rotational position. The engagement elements are each arranged at least in the front region of the coupling parts and cooperate in such a way that even a partial pushing together in incorrect orientation is prevented.

    摘要: A steering system for a vehicle has a steering system support column and a steering wheel arrangement having a central axis. The steering wheel arrangement includes a steering wheel and a steering wheel hub, rotatable together about the central axis; a torque feedback device; and a steering wheel center part including an airbag module arranged inside the steering wheel center part and being provided with a plurality of steering wheel controls. The steering wheel center part is fixedly connected with the steering system support column so as to be non-rotatable about the central axis. The steering wheel arrangement is column stalk control free, and the steering system is moveable so that the steering wheel arrangement is reversibly retractable and extendable.

    摘要: A vehicle has a steering wheel which can be transferred from a steering position into a non-steering position and vice versa, having a system which only enables the transfer of the steering wheel into the non-steering position when the vehicle is in a non-steered state and when an activation signal for the transfer into the non-steering position. The system includes a monitoring device configured and arranged such that the steering wheel in its non-steering position can be set such that its position with respect to a vehicle occupant is ergonomically optimally adapted at least according to ascertained parameters.

    摘要: A rotary connector device includes a stator and a rotation body. The stator includes a first stator main body and a second stator main body. The rotation body is provided rotatably about a rotational axis with respect to the stator. The stator and the rotation body define a cable housing space between the stator and the rotation body. The second stator main body includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall extends along an axial direction parallel to the rotational axis. The second wall extends along the axial direction and is spaced apart from the first wall in a radial direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. The first wall is disposed between the cable housing space and the second wall in the radial direction. The first stator main body includes an intermediate wall extending along the axial direction and disposed between the first wall and the second wall in the radial direction.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a steering system comprising a rotatable steering wheel hub; a steering system support column including an off-axis section and an aligned section that are connected by a connection portion. The steering wheel hub is rotatably mounted on the aligned section, while the off-axis section is axially spaced from the steering wheel hub. The steering system comprises a torque feedback device including an electric machine having a rotor and a stator, the rotor being attached to the steering wheel hub so as to be rotatable with the steering wheel hub about the axis of rotation, and the stator being non-rotatably fixed to the aligned section of the steering system support column.
