Spindle arrangement for a closure element, in particular a tailgate, of a motor vehicle

A spindle arrangement for a closure element, in particular a tailgate, of a motor vehicle, wherein the spindle arrangement has a spindle-spindle nut drive with a spindle, having an axially extending geometric spindle axis, and a spindle nut meshing therewith for performing, in particular, linear displacement movements along the geometric spindle axis between a spindle-side connection and a spindle-nut-side connection, wherein the spindle is axially fixedly coupled to the spindle-side connection and the spindle nut is axially fixedly connected to a spindle guide tube, which is axially fixedly coupled to the spindle-nut-side connection,

• wherein the spindle arrangement has a tubular outer housing, radially enclosing the spindle-spindle nut drive, with a first housing tube, in particular housing outer tube, and optionally a second housing tube, in particular housing inner tube, which is capable of telescoping with the first housing tube, wherein during a rotational movement of the spindle relative to the outer housing or to a housing-bound component in at least one spindle rotation direction, if the angular acceleration of the spindle relative to the outer housing or housing-bound component exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a switchable braking device is activated, which causes a braking of the rotational movement of the spindle.
