STEERING DEVICE HAVING A SIMULATED STEERING RESISTANCE TORQUE

In order to specify a steering device (1) with a simulated steering resistance torque, in particular for steer-by-wire steering systems of vehicles, having at least one steering column housing (2) and at least one steering spindle (4) which is guided in at least one bearing (3) and is arranged in said steering column housing (2) such that it can be moved relative to the latter, wherein a friction means (5) which acts between the steering spindle (4) and the steering column housing (2) and a prestressing means (9) which acts on said friction means (5) and has an adjustable prestressing force are provided, wherein the prestressing means (9) is fastened with a first end (6) to the steering column housing (2), which steering device (1) is functionally reliable and simple and nevertheless conveys a certain heaviness of the steering movement to a driver of the vehicle, it is proposed that, by way of a second end (7), the prestressing means (9) presses the friction means (5) radially onto a circumferential surface (8) of the steering spindle (4).
