Abstract
The invention relates to an angular contact bearing assembly for use in a steering column, comprising at least one rolling bearing comprising conductive components, a sleeve for mounting an conductive inner ring of the at least one rolling bearing on a shaft; and at least one conductive structure creating an electrically conductive contact between at least one of the conductive components of the at least one rolling bearing and the shaft. It is proposed that the sleeve and the conductive structure form an inseparable compound.
