Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
German term or phrase: angreifen
Bei einer bekannten derartigen Lenksäule greift das Ausgangsglied des von einem Motor antreibbaren Reduziergetriebes für die Lenkrad-Neigungsverstellung direkt einen nach vorne unten gerichteten Hebel an der Konsole an. Dadurch sind hohe Verstellkräfte von dem Ausgangsglied des Reduziergetriebes aufzubringen, insbesondere auch deshalb, weil an der Konsole relativ nah am Lenkrad auch noch der Antriebsmotor und das Reduziergetriebe für die Längsverstellung des Lenkrads gelagert sind.
