Abstract
A device configured to operably couple a steering column to a steering gear housing. The device includes a shaft, a clamping collar and a clamping screw. The clamping collar includes two arms arranged relative to one another so as to define a cavity. The cavity presents an entry zone and a coupling zone into which the shaft is inserted, the shaft first entering the entry zone then entering the coupling zone. The shaft is secured in position by tightening the clamping screw to a set torque, the entry zone being dimensioned in relation to the coupling zone so as to inhibit achieving the set torque of the clamping screw when the shaft is inserted into the entry zone only, and not the coupling zone.
