Because there are so many different requirements, we have developed a wide variety of mechanically adjustable columns for both incremental and infinitely variable adjustments. All of them feature excellent crash behavior (5 stars, EURO NCAP) with an energy absorption length of up to 150 mm. This is thyssenkrupp’s contribution to safety in upper middle class vehicles produced by manufacturers in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
In addition, we offer steering columns in modular form with adaptive crash behavior. This means that they can differentiate the crash load level depending on how the safety belt is used.
Characteristics:
- Gear quality of DIN 7 or better
- Manually adjustable height and length
- Infinitely variable clamping mechanism
- Flexible energy absorption system
- Horizontal crash behavior keeps distance from column to knee constant
- Few parts due to function integration
- Light metals used, such as aluminum and magnesium
