Abstract
A rotation-limiting assembly for a steer-by-wire steering system is described. The rotation-limiting assembly comprises a housing, in which a shaft portion rotatable about a center axis is accommodated, wherein the shaft portion is coupled to the housing via a threaded pair, a sliding guide, and a force fit or a further sliding guide. The force fit couples the shaft portion to the housing in such a manner that, when a predefined breakaway torque is exceeded, the shaft portion is rotatable in relation to the housing. Furthermore, a first stop disk is provided on a first axial side of a sliding guide external contour of the sliding guide and a second stop disk is provided on a second axial side. Moreover, a steering wheel assembly for a steer-by-wire steering system, having such a rotation-limiting assembly is presented.
