Steering device

A steering device comprising:

• a steered shaft housing having a steered shaft accommodating section and a steered shaft rotation stopper holder, wherein the steered shaft accommodating section has a tubular shape;
• a steered shaft having a steered shaft main body and a contact portion, wherein at least a part of the steered shaft is accommodated in the steered shaft accommodating section, the steered shaft main body has a rod-shape, and the contact portion is provided at an outer peripheral side of the steered shaft main body;
• an actuator configured to move the steered shaft with respect to the steered shaft housing in a longitudinal direction of the steered shaft;
• and
• a steered shaft rotation stopper having a contact member and a forcing member, wherein the contact member and the forcing member are provided at the steered shaft rotation stopper holder, and wherein
• when defining an axial line that passes through a center of the steered shaft main body on a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the steered shaft and that is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the steered shaft as a reference axial line,
• the forcing member forces at least either one of the steered shaft or the contact member in a direction in which the steered shaft and the contact member push against each other, and
• the contact member is provided so as to be able to contact the contact portion, and in a state in which the contact member contacts the contact portion, the contact member stops a rotation of the steered shaft relative to the steered shaft housing about the reference axial line as an axis of the rotation,
• wherein the contact member is provided such that the contact member is rotatable with respect to the steered shaft, and
• wherein the steered shaft rotation stopper has, between the forcing member and the contact member, a low friction member whose coefficient of friction is smaller than those of the forcing member and the contact member.
