Abstract
A steering shaft for a steering system of a motor vehicle, having at least two steering shaft elements, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation, are coupled to one another in a torque-transmitting manner, and are telescopically slidable one inside the other, via which a steering wheel is mechanically connectable to a steering gear of the steering system, wherein at least one of the steering shaft elements has at least two shaft parts, which are formed separately from one another and are connected to one another in a rotationally-fixed manner and which are assembled and connected to one another with at least one separation point, wherein the steering shaft elements are slidable one inside the other beyond the separation point.

A steering shaft for a steering system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least two steering shaft elements, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation, are coupled to one another in a torque-transmitting manner, and are telescopically slidable one inside the other, via which a steering wheel is mechanically connectable to a steering gear of the steering system,
- wherein at least one of the at least two steering shaft elements has at least two shaft parts, wherein one of the at least two shaft parts has a hollow shaft with an internal toothing and the other shaft part has a toothed shaft with an external toothing corresponding to the internal toothing, which are formed separately from one another and are connected to one another in a rotationally-fixed manner and which are assembled and connected to one another by at least one separation point, wherein the at least two steering shaft elements are slidable one inside the other beyond the separation point.
