Abstract
A vehicle Steering device with a movable steering unit that is braked by a braking device. The braking device has a stationary holder and two brake components. One brake component is rotated by the steering unit. One brake component is rotatably fixed to the holder. The brake component are continuously rotatable relative to one another about a rotational axis. A first brake component extends along the rotational axis and has a magnetically conductive core. The second brake component has a hollow casing part extending around the first brake component. A peripheral gap, filled with a magnetorheological medium, is arranged between the two brake components. The gap has two different braking gap portions. In a first braking gap portion, a disk contour is formed between the casing part and the core. In a second braking gap portion, a plurality of roller bodies are arranged around the circumference of the core.
