STEERING COLUMN FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

The present disclosure relates to a steering column for a motor vehicle, comprising a steering shaft which is mounted so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis (L) relative to a carrying unit, a rotation limiter having an end stop for limiting the rotation of the steering shaft, and a rotary sensor coupled to the steering shaft by means of a torque-locked connection. In order to permit a greater operational reliability, the invention proposes that the rotation limiter has a threshold torque and, if said threshold torque is exceeded, the rotation of the steering shaft beyond the end stop is permitted, wherein the threshold torque is less than a maximum transmission torque of the connection between the steering shaft and rotary sensor.
