1. A steer-by-wire steering apparatus comprising:
a housing accommodating a sliding bar being axially slidable, and including a sensor holder including a long hole formed to penetrate inner and outer surfaces and axially extend;
a rotation preventer including a supporter that is inserted into the long hole, coupled to the sliding bar, and supported widthwise by the housing, the supporter being divided widthwise into two cut portions including a first supporter and a second supporter, and further including an elastic member located between the first supporter and the second supporter; and
a sensor assembly including a magnet holder that is coupled with the rotation preventer, is slidable together with the rotation preventer, and accommodates a magnet, and a sensor that is coupled to the sensor holder and detects a position of the magnet,
wherein the rotation preventer further includes a coupling member that is inserted into a first coupling hole formed in the supporter and divided into two cut portions, and a second coupling hole formed in the sliding bar,
wherein the first coupling hole includes two or more first coupling holes spaced apart from each other, and the second coupling hole includes two or more second coupling holes spaced apart from each other, and
wherein any of two or more coupling members is inserted in any of the two or more first coupling holes and any of the two or more second coupling holes, which are aligned.
