  • Steer-by-wire steering and steering angle adjustment method for steer-by-wire steering
    Patent number: 10913492
    Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system having a steering control, a rotation angle sensor for detecting a position of the steering control, an actuator for producing a counter-torque on the steering control, a steering actuator for adjusting a steering angle depending on the data of the rotation angle sensor on a final control element, wherein the final control element has a mechanical end stop and the actuator implements a software end stop on the steering control, wherein a transmission ratio is set between the rotation angle on the steering control and the steering angle, wherein a positive delta value and a negative delta value are defined for the set transmission ratio, wherein the steer-by-wire steering system is embodied so the adjusted transmission ratio is selected so that a remaining position error of the steering control is minimized.
