Abstract:
1. A steering column arrangement comprising: a steering spindle which is mounted in a casing tube so as to be rotationally movable; and a switch module which is held immovably with respect to the rotational movement of the steering spindle and is fixed radially and axially on the casing tube; wherein, the switch module is supported on a bearing arranged on the steering spindle; the switch module comprises a centering device which, under a force which is oriented coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the steering spindle, fixes the switch module on the casing tube and clamps the switch module radially, the centering device comprises a stator and clamping jaws; an elevation protrudes toward the casing tube in a substantially radial direction from a central portion of a first face of a first clamping jaw that faces the casing tube, the elevation contacting an outermost surface of the casing tube and centering the switch module; and wherein a second face of the first clamping jaw faces away from the casing tube and toward the stator and extends obliquely with regard to the longitudinal axis of the steering spindle, and wherein the inner face of the stator extends parallel to the oblique face of the clamping jaw.
