In a control device for a steering mechanism, the steering mechanism includes a motor that includes a plurality of coils. The plurality of coils include a first coil and a second coil. The control device includes a first control system and a second control system configured to compute a command value for torque of the motor to be applied to the steering mechanism. The first control system and the second control system are each configured to control power supply to the plurality of coils of the motor based on the command value. The first control system includes a first microcomputer that has first characteristics, and the second control system includes a second microcomputer that has second characteristics that are different from the first characteristics.

A steering apparatus includes first and second electric motors that rotate a steering shaft via speed reduction mechanisms, and the motors being disposed to face each other. The first electric motor, a first motor pulley, a second motor pulley and the second electric motor are arranged in order in a rotation axis direction. When a first system electric actuator (including a first nut and the first electric motor) and a second system electric actuator (including a second nut and the second electric motor) are provided to the common steering shaft, in a first axis direction, the first and second nuts can be arranged close to each other, reducing sizes of the peripheries of the nuts.

A power steering system includes a rack housing arranged to receive a longitudinally displaceable rack member. The system also includes an assist cover connected to the rack housing, the rack housing and the assist cover defining a cavity. The system further includes an assist assembly at least partially disposed within the cavity. The assist assembly includes a power pack connected to at least one of the rack housing and the assist cover, the power pack having a power pack shaft extending therefrom. The assist assembly also includes a drive pulley having a drive pulley shaft that extends between the rack housing and the assist cover, the drive pulley shaft and the power pack shaft separate shafts and operatively coupled to each other. The assist assembly further includes a driven pulley disposed about the rack member.

An electric power steering device includes a motor and a control unit that are arranged coaxially with each other in an axial direction of an output shaft and integrated with each other. The control unit includes power modules configured to supply current to the motor, a heat sink, a control board configured to output a control signal to the power modules, and a rotation sensor. The power modules, a column portion of the heat sink, and the control board are arranged in parallel to the axial direction of the output shaft. The rotation sensor is provided in a recess formed in a base portion of the heat sink at an opposite position to a sensor rotor mounted to an end portion of the output shaft on the control unit side.

An electric power steering device includes a motor housing of an electric motor. An annular seal accommodating portion is formed around an external terminal forming part of a connector assembly, and filled with a liquid sealing agent. A fixing member fixes the connector assembly to a fixing part of an end face part of the motor housing. A liquid sealing agent guiding passage is formed with the annular seal accommodating portion, and allows the liquid sealing agent to flow to the fixing member. A metal cover includes: a bottom part including: an exposure hole through which the external terminal forming part is exposed to outside; and an annular reinforcing projecting portion formed at an edge of the exposure hole, and accommodated in the annular seal accommodating portion; and a lateral peripheral part angled from the bottom part, and forming an opening for fixation to the end face part.

An apparatus for an electronic power steering system includes a printed circuit board and a first sensor. The printed circuit board comprising: a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a first processor section extending in a first direction on the first surface; a second processor section extending in a second direction opposite the first direction on the second surface; and a void disposed between the first surface and the second surface, the first processor section and the second processor section being separated by the void.

Provided is an electric driving device including a first protruding portion protruding from a holder surface. A plate-like portion has an opposed surface opposed to the holder surface. A first through hole in the plate-like portion is defined by a first through hole forming portion formed in a cylindrical shape so as to project from the plate-like portion to a side opposite to the opposed surface. The first through hole has an inner surface including a first hole inclined inner surface and a first hole cylindrical inner surface extending from the first hole inclined inner surface to the end portion of the first through hole forming portion. The first protruding portion is press-fitted into the first through hole under a state in which a plurality of first ribs are in contact with the first hole cylindrical inner surface.
