A steering apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a rotational shaft rotatably mounted in the housing;
- a moving member interposed between the rotational shaft and the housing and moved by a rotation of the rotational shaft;
- a first rotation limiter formed on an inner surface of the housing and configured to limit an amount of a first direction movement of the moving member in a first direction along a longitudinal direction of the housing, thereby limiting an amount of a first direction rotation of the rotational shaft;
- and
- a second rotation limiter coupled to the housing and configured to cover an opening of the housing and to limit an amount of a second direction movement of the moving member in a second direction along the longitudinal direction of the housing, thereby limiting an amount of a second direction rotation of the rotational shaft,
- wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction, and
- wherein the first rotation limiter includes:
- a guide recessed in the inner surface of the housing along an axial direction of the rotational shaft, wherein the moving member is engaged on the guide and the guide is configured to guide a movement of the moving member;
- and
- a locking protrusion disposed on one side of the guide and configured to limit the first direction movement of the moving member.
