STEER-BY-WIRE STEERING SYSTEM COMPRISING A STEERING WHEEL ROTATION LIMITING DEVICE

The present disclosure relates to a steering system (10) comprising a steering wheel rotation limiting device (52) being arranged radially offset to the steering wheel hub (14) and comprising a base (54) being fixed to the or another non-rotatable component (26) of the steering system (10), the base (54) comprising two opposing end stop surfaces (60, 62), and comprising a sliding element (56) being axially slidable parallel to the axis of rotation relative to the base (54) and relative to the steering wheel hub (14) between the two opposing end stop surfaces (60, 62). The sliding element (56) comprises a projection (64) that engages a spiral groove (66) formed on a circumferential surface of the steering wheel hub (14) so that rotation of the steering wheel hub (14) causes axial movement of the sliding element (56), and so that abutment of the sliding element (56) with one of the two end stop surfaces (60, 62) blocks movement of the sliding element (56) and rotation of the steering wheel hub (14).
