A transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft selectively accepting a torque input from a prime mover, and the output shaft selectively providing torque output to a driveline. A controller determines a shaft displacement angle representing an angle value of rotational displacement difference between at least two shafts of the transmission, and performs a transmission operation responsive to the shaft displacement angle.

A power supplying-side terminal (38) has a power supplying-side hanging portion (38H) extending toward a surface of the circuit board (31), a power supplying-side extending portion (38E) bent from the power supplying-side hanging portion (38H) and extending outwards along the surface of the circuit board (31) and a power supplying-side standing portion (38S) bent from the power supplying-side extending portion (38E) and extending in a direction away from circuit board (31). A power receiving-side terminal (39) has a power receiving-side extending portion (39E) extending outwards along the surface of the circuit board (31) and a power receiving-side standing portion (39S) bent from the power receiving-side extending portion (39E) and extending in the direction away from circuit board (31). The power supplying-side standing portion (38S) and the power receiving-side standing portion (39S) overlap each other, and connected to each other so as to have electrical continuity.

An electric power steering device including a column actuator disposed on a column side of the intermediate shaft and outputting a column assist torque; a rack actuator disposed on a rack side of the intermediate shaft and outputting a rack assist torque; a column torque sensor coaxially disposed with the steering shaft and detecting a column torsion torque; a rack torque sensor coaxially disposed with the intermediate shaft and detecting a rack torsion torque; and a calculator calculating instruction values of the column assist torque and the rack assist torque based on the torsion torques.

Described is a rotation limitation module for a steer-by-wire steering system. Said rotation limitation module comprises a housing in which a shaft portion that is rotatable about a central axis and is able to be rotatably coupled to a steering wheel shaft or is configured as a portion of the steering wheel shaft is received. Furthermore provided is a limiter disk which by way of a sliding guide is coupled in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner to the shaft portion and has an external thread which is driven into an internal thread of the housing. Moreover, the rotation limitation module comprises a first detent ring having a first detent wing, and a second detent ring having a second detent wing, both detent wings for limiting a rotation of the shaft portion being able to cooperate with the limiter disk. A steering wheel module for a steer-by-wire steering system is also disclosed, which comprises such a rotation limitation module.

An angular position sensor may include a housing, and a rotor including a rotor assembly with a rotor latching device. The rotor and the housing are connected by the rotor latching device secured by a retaining ring. The retaining ring can be transferred into a secured position in an axial direction. The retaining ring is integral with the rotor assembly and features at least one retaining element with which the retaining ring secures the connection of rotor and housing. The retaining ring and the rotor latching device each feature corresponding latching elements. The rotor assembly features axial position-securing elements. The latching elements interact such that the retaining ring is secured in an axial direction along the rotary axis relative to the rotor. The axial position-securing elements interact so that the rotor is secured essentially free of play on the housing in an axial direction along the rotary axis.
