Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a steer-by-wire system. In one example, a steer-by-wire system comprises an electric motor coupled to a steering axle via a bevel gear set, where a rotor of the electric motor is perpendicular to the steering axle, and the bevel gear set comprises a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The steer-by-wire system includes an overload protection arrangement, where the second bevel gear is normally coupled to a ball screw nut via a plurality of locking pins, the plurality of locking pins disengaging from the second bevel gear and allowing slipping of the ball screw nut in response to an external impact load acting on the ball screw nut exceeding a threshold.
