Abstract
A steer-by-wire device for controlling a vehicle includes a housing; an input shaft that is rotatable relative to the housing and is configured to receive a rotary input from an operator of the vehicle at a first end of the input shaft, the first end being located external to the housing; a rotor attached to the input shaft at a second, opposite, end of the input shaft, the second end being located internal to the housing; a sensor for detecting an angular position, an angular velocity, and/or an angular acceleration of the input shaft relative to the housing; and a coil for generating a magnetic field to generate a rotary force or torque in the rotor to resist rotation of the rotor. The rotor is attached to the input shaft to allow a relative movement between at least a portion of the rotor and the input shaft.
