Abstract:
A steering system for an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The steering system includes, in some embodiments, a steering shaft, a steering column jacket encircling at least a portion of the steering shaft, an emulator enclosed within a housing, the emulator coupled to the steering shaft, and a travel limiter assembly enclosed within the housing and coupled with the steering shaft, the travel limiter assembly comprising at least one rotational member having a pin and a groove configured to receive the pin, the groove including a stop portion. In some embodiments, the at least one rotational member and at least a portion of the steering shaft rotates within the housing and the pin travels within the groove until the pin encounters the stop portion after a predetermined degree of rotation of the steering shaft.
