Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a steering column for a vehicle. In a steering column (10) including an outer tube (100) accommodating a steering shaft (P), an inner tube (200) retracted into the outer tube (100), a main bracket (300) installed to the outer tube (100) and fixed to a vehicle body, a telescopic bracket (400) integrally fixed to the outer tube (100) and formed with a pair of slots for telescoping (410), and a position fixing bolt (600) installed through the slots for telescoping (410), wherein the telescopic bracket (400) is further formed with a slot for energy absorption (420) extending from at least one of the pair of slots for telescoping (410) and having a height (h) smaller than a diameter (D) of the position fixing bolt (600), thereby enabling impact energy to be absorbed by means of friction with the position fixing bolt during a vehicle impact.
