STEER-BY-WIRE STEERING SYSTEM HAVING AN OFF-AXIS STEERING SYSTEM SUPPORT COLUMN PROVIDED WITH A STEERING WHEEL ROTATION LIMITING DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a steering system (10) comprising a rotatable steering wheel hub (14); a torque feedback device (44) including an electric machine having a rotor (46) and a stator (48), the rotor (46) being attached to the steering wheel hub (14), and the stator (48) being fixed to a non-rotatable component (48) of the steering system (10); a steering system support column (24) including an off-axis section (28) having a first longitudinal axis (L1) that is offset to an axis of rotation (A) and including an aligned section (26) having a second longitudinal axis (L2) that corresponds to the axis of rotation (A). The steering wheel hub (14) is rotatably mounted on the aligned section (26) and axially spaced from the off-axis section (28). A steering wheel rotation limiting device (52) is attached to the off-axis section (28) and engaging the steering wheel hub (14).
