Abstract
A rotation limiting means for a steer-by-wire steering system comprises a fixedly arranged outer housing and a steering column which is received at least partially in the outer housing and can be rotated relative to the outer housing. Furthermore, at least one actuating member is provided which is arranged between the outer housing and the steering column and can be rotated to a limited extent relative to the outer housing and relative to the steering column, in order to mechanically limit a rotation of the steering column relative to the outer housing. Furthermore, a steering system and a method for limiting a rotational movement in a steering system are described.
