A steering assembly for steering a vehicle in response to a steering input, the steering assembly includes an axle extending between a pair of wheels, a plurality of linkages, a primary electric drive source, and a secondary electric drive source. The plurality of linkages includes a pair of knuckles operatively coupled to the wheels, a tie rod extending between and coupled to the pair of knuckles, and a drag link attached to one of the knuckles. The primary electric drive source is operatively attached to the drag link, and moves the drag link in response to the steering input to transfer movement through the plurality of linkages to turn the wheels. The secondary electric drive source is operatively attached to one of the plurality of linkages to move the one of the plurality of linkages in response to the steering input and independently from the primary electric drive source.

A control device of an electric power steering device includes an arithmetic processing device having a comparison unit, a failure diagnosis unit, and a drive control unit. The comparison unit compares a difference between a first output signal output from a first sensor and a second output signal output from a second sensor with a first threshold value to determine a magnitude relationship, and compares a difference between the first output signal and a third output signal output from a third sensor with a second threshold value to determine a magnitude relationship. Based on a result of the comparison unit, the failure diagnosis unit identifies one abnormal sensor among the first, second and third sensor. Using output values from two normal sensors that are not identified as abnormal sensors among the first, second and third sensor, the drive control unit generates a drive control signal for driving an electric motor.

An embodiment discloses a motor comprising: a stator; a rotor disposed to correspond to the stator; and a shaft coupled to the rotor. The rotor includes a rotor core coupled to the shaft, a plurality of magnets disposed outside the rotor core, and a can disposed to cover the rotor core and the magnets. The can includes a base, a body extending from the base in the axial direction, and a plurality of extension portions extending from the end portion of the body, wherein with reference to the radial direction, the radius R2 from the center C to the extension portions is longer than the radius R1 from the center C to the body. Accordingly, the motor can induce easy insertion of the magnets by using the can having two regions having different radii, thereby simplifying a manufacturing process of the motor and improving productivity thereof.

Disclosed is a motor comprising: a stator; a rotor provided inside the stator; and a shaft coupled to the rotor, wherein the stator comprises a stator core, a coil wound around the stator core, and an insulator arranged between the stator core and the coil, and the insulator comprises an upper insulator and a lower insulator. An upper body of the upper insulator comprises: a first side wall part; a second side wall part arranged to the spaced apart from the first side wall part; and a first cover part extending from an end of the first side wall part and connected to an end on one side of the second side wall part, wherein the number of a plurality of first grooves formed on the first side wall part is different from the number of a plurality of second grooves formed on the second side wall part. Accordingly, when a coil with an increased diameter is used, the performance of the motor can be improved by implementing asymmetric wiring of the coil by using the insulator for guiding the arrangement of the coil.

The alignment of a nut and a nut-side pulley is performed by: a nut insertion step of inserting the nut into the nut-side pulley; a temporary tightening step of, after the nut insertion step, inserting a shaft portion of a fastening bolt in a fastening bolt insertion hole of the nut-side pulley, with the shaft portion being inserted through a spring washer, and then, tightening the shaft portion into an internal thread of the nut until a dimension of the spring washer becomes shorter than a free length and longer than a fully compressed length; an axis deviation adjusting step of adjusting a position of the nut-side pulley relative to the nut to decrease a deviation of the nut-side pulley relative to a rotation axis of the nut after the temporary tightening step; and a final tightening step of further tightening the fastening bolt after the axis deviation adjusting step.
