Abstract
A steering unit for an industrial truck includes a steering actuator element fastened by a steering column (2) to a frame (1) of the industrial truck. A joint element makes it possible for the steering column (2) to pivot relative to the frame (1) of the industrial truck and a damping element reduces the transmission of vibrations from the frame (1) of the industrial truck to the steering column (2). At least one bearing component (5) is provided which forms the joint element and the damping element simultaneously. The bearing component (5) includes an elastic, e.g., elastomeric, element.
