The locking mechanism has a wedge (40) driven by a motor (48) to engage a radial flange (28) and close a friction clamp (21,22) onto a friction band (12) with position monitored by signals from Hall sensors (54).

The device is unlocked by an electronic key and has a blocking element (2) for the steering spindle and a rotor (4) rotatable into and out of a starting position to lock and release the spindle by reciprocally moving the blocking element. The rotor can onl...

The steering lock includes an electromagnet (6) in the stator (1) which is co-axial with the rotor (4). The rotor has a stop which acts with another stop on the stator when the rotor is turned back to its initial position before the initial position is rea...
