STEER-BY-WIRE STEERING SYSTEM HAVING AN OFF-AXIS STEERING SYSTEM SUPPORT COLUMN

The present disclosure relates to a steering system (10) comprising a rotatable steering wheel hub (14); a steering system support column (24) including an off-axis section (28) and an aligned section (26) that are integrally formed and connected by a connection portion (30). The steering wheel hub (14) is rotatably mounted on the aligned section (26), while the off-axis section (28) is axially spaced from the steering wheel hub (14). The steering system (10) comprises 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) so as to be rotatable with the steering wheel hub (14) about the axis of rotation (A), and the stator (48) being non-rotatably fixed to the aligned section (26) of the steering system support column (24).
