Steer-by-wire steering system having an off-axis steering system support column provided with a steering wheel rotation limiting device

A steering system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a steering wheel hub configured to be connected with a steering wheel, the steering wheel hub being rotatable about an axis of rotation;
• a torque feedback device including an electric machine having a rotor and a stator, the rotor being attached to the steering wheel hub so as to be rotatable with the steering wheel hub about the axis of rotation, and the stator being fixed to a non-rotatable component of the steering system;
• a steering system support column including an off-axis section having a first longitudinal axis that is off-set to the axis of rotation and including an aligned section having a second longitudinal axis that corresponds to the axis of rotation, wherein the steering wheel hub is rotatably mounted on the aligned section, while the of-axis section is axially spaced from the steering wheel hub;
• and
• a steering wheel rotation limiting device for limiting rotation of the steering wheel hub, the steering wheel rotation limiting device being attached to the off-axis section via a base of the steering wheel rotation limiting device and engaging the steering wheel hub via a sliding element,
• wherein the steering wheel rotation limiting device extends axially towards the steering wheel hub, and the base of the steering wheel rotation limiting device is arranged radially off-set from the steering wheel hub.
