Steering device

Abstract

A steering device according to an aspect of the present invention includes an outer shaft, an inner shaft, an outer column, and an inner column. The inner shaft has a sliding portion configured to be capable of being inserted into the outer shaft, and a bearing-mounting portion that is connected to the sliding portion in an axial direction thereof and is configured not to be capable of being inserted into the outer shaft. In the bearing-mounting portion, rear bearings are disposed with an interval therebetween in the axial direction.

1 . A steering device, comprising:
 a front shaft;   a rear shaft which is positioned rearward from the front shaft in a vehicle body and is configured to be movable relative to the front shaft in a shaft axis direction, and to which a steering wheel is attached;   a front column configured to rotatably support the front shaft around the shaft axis via a front bearing; and   a rear column configured to rotatably support the rear shaft around the shaft axis via a rear bearing and is configured to be movable relative to the front column in the shaft axis direction,   wherein the rear bearing includes a first bearing and a second bearing which are disposed at a rear side of a rear end of the front column and are disposed with a predetermined interval therebetween in the shaft axis direction of the rear shaft, and   a distance between the first bearing and the second bearing in the shaft axis direction is set to be 40 mm or less.   
     
     
         2 . A steering device, comprising:
 a steering shaft having a rear-end portion to which a steering wheel is attached;   a rear bearing configured to support the steering shaft;   a front bearing configured to support the steering shaft in front of the rear bearing; and   a steering column configured to rotatably support the steering shaft around a shaft axis via the rear bearing and the front bearing,   wherein the rear bearing includes a first bearing and a second bearing which are disposed at a rear side of a rear end of the front column and are disposed with a predetermined interval therebetween in a shaft axis direction, and   a distance between the first bearing and the second bearing in the shaft axis direction is set to be 40 mm or less.
