Abstract:
1. A fixing device for an adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle, the fixing device comprising: a first cam carrier with one or more cams which are fastened fixedly thereto; and a second cam carrier with one or more cams fastened fixedly thereto, wherein the first and second cam carriers are arranged to be rotatable relative to one another about a rotational axis such that during rotation of the cam carriers relative to one another about the rotational axis, the one or more cams of the first cam carrier interacts with the one or more cams of the second cam carrier such that they move only by sliding along one another, causing a stroke in a longitudinal direction of the rotational axis, and wherein the fixing device has an energy-absorbing damping device configured to damp the rotation of the cam carriers in at least one rotational direction about the rotational axis.
