Claim 10:
11. A steer-by-wire steering device comprising:
a first member which comprises a first base surrounding an input shaft to be rotated when a steering wheel is turned, and rotatable together with the input shaft, and a first protrusion protruding from the first base in a radial direction;
a second member which comprises a second base surrounding the first base, a second protrusion protruding from the second base and on a trajectory of the first protrusion, and a second weight placed so as to overlap a line extended from the second protrusion and passing through a center of the input shaft, the second member being rotatable together with the first member with the first protrusion abutting the second protrusion, and a weighted center of the second member being located between the center of the input shaft and a tip of the second weight; and
a stopper which is apart from the second protrusion and is formed on a trajectory of the second protrusion when the weighted center of the second member is located below the center of the input shaft, and is capable of restricting a turn of the steering wheel via the input shaft when abutting with the second protrusion.
