The subject of the present invention is a safety braking device (1) for a
steering system (100) of a vehicle, comprising a cylinder (2) that delimits a housing (3), a
piston (4) housed in the housing (3) of the cylinder (2), wherein the
piston (4), together with the housing (3), delimits a first chamber (5) and a second chamber (6), at least one connection element (7) configured to fluidically connect the first chamber (5) and the second chamber (6), wherein the first chamber (5), the second chamber (6), and the connection element (7) are configured to contain a
working fluid (F), wherein the
piston (4) is translatably movable in the housing (3) of the cylinder (2) by moving the
working fluid (F) through the at least one connection element (7) from the first chamber (5) to the second chamber (6), and / or vice versa, wherein the piston (4) is indirectly connectable to a
steering wheel (101) of the
steering system (100) such that a rotation of the
steering wheel (101) is transformed into a translation of the piston (4) in the housing (3) of the cylinder (2), and vice versa, and such that a translational speed of the piston (4) and a rotational speed of the
steering wheel (101) are mutually correlated, wherein the safety braking device (1) comprises fluid resistance means (8, 9) arranged along the at least one connection element (7), wherein the fluid resistance means (8, 9) are configured to selectively control a fluid flow rate of the
working fluid (F) from the first chamber (5) to the second chamber (6), and vice versa, such that when the fluid flow rate of the working fluid (F) is below a threshold flow rate and / or the translational speed of the piston is below a threshold translational speed and / or the rotational speed of the steering wheel is below a threshold rotational speed, the working fluid (F) passes through the at least one connection element (7) from the first chamber (5) to the second chamber (6), or vice versa, without hindering the translation of the piston (4) and the rotation of the
steering system (100), and when the fluid flow rate of the working fluid (F) reaches the threshold flow rate and / or the translational speed of the piston reaches the threshold translational speed and / or the rotational speed of the steering wheel reaches the threshold rotational speed, the working fluid (F) is hindered or blocked from passing through the at least one connection element (7) from the first chamber (5) to the second chamber (6), or vice versa, thereby hindering or blocking the translation of the piston (4) and the rotation of the steering
system (100).
