A gear is provided that has excellent continuous moldability for practical use, and both high slidability and high durability. The provided gear is a molded resin constructed of a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin (A) and cellulose nanofibers (B) with an average fiber diameter of 1000 nm or smaller, and having a number average molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin (A) in the range of 10,000 to 150,000, wherein a sliding surface of the gear with another gear teeth has an arithmetic mean surface roughness Sa of 3.0 μm or lower.

A power steering device includes: first and second load transition regions provided in first and second predetermined ranges in a nut side ball screw groove from the other end side openings of the first and second connection passages along the nut ball screw groove, formed so that radial distances between a rotation axis of the nut and the nut side ball screw groove are gradually increased toward the other end side opening of the first and second connection passages, and formed so that the balls pass through first and second no load regions, and then pass through a first load region, when the balls in the first and second predetermined ranges are moved from the other end side opening of the first and second connection passages along the nut side ball screw groove.

The present invention provides a rack assist type electric power steering apparatus. The power steering apparatus includes: a ball nut coupled to a rack bar via balls to be rotated, and configured to cause the rack bar to slide; a bearing mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the ball nut so as to support rotation of the ball nut; and a support member coupled to at least one of a space between one side of an outer race of the bearing and a housing and a space between the other side of the outer race of the bearing and the housing so as to support the bearing.

A control device for a vehicle-mounted apparatus, the control device includes: a second CPU state judging section provided to the first CPU, and configured to judge a state of the second CPU based on a state of the inter-CPU communication and a voltage value of the electric power supplied from the first electric power supply section, or the second reset signal; and a first CPU state judging section provided to the second CPU, and configured to judge a state of the first CPU based on the state of the inter-CPU communication and a voltage value of the electric power supplied from the second electric power supply section, or the first reset signal.

A steering device of the present invention has a steered shaft rotation stopper (100) having a contact member (101) and a forcing member (102). The forcing member (102) forces at least either one of a steered shaft (6) or the contact member (101) in a direction in which the steered shaft (6) and the contact member (101) push against each other. In a state in which the contact member (101) contacts a contact portion (6D) of the steered shaft (6), the contact member (101) stops a rotation of the steered shaft (6).

A steering actuator apparatus for a vehicle may include: a housing, a driving unit configured to be supported by the housing and generates a driving force, a transmission shaft, which is installed inside the housing to be movable, moves back and forth by receiving the driving force from the driving unit, and varies a steering angle of a wheel, a measurement unit configured to measure the steering angle of the wheel in conjunction with a movement of the transmission shaft, a first rotation prevention unit provided between the housing and the transmission shaft and fixed to the transmission shaft and a second rotation prevention unit, which is detachably coupled to an outside of the housing and interferes with the first rotation prevention unit to prevent relative rotation of the housing and the transmission shaft.

A turning system is configured to move a turning shaft to turn a left wheel and a right wheel of a vehicle. The turning shaft is configured to couple the left wheel and the right wheel to each other. A torsion bar is engaged with the turning shaft via a steering gear box. The turning system includes: a turning mechanism including (i) an electric turning mechanism including an electric motor configured to rotate a portion of the torsion bar which is located upstream of the steering gear box and (ii) a hydraulic turning mechanism configured to apply a moving force to the turning shaft in an axial direction, the moving force being produced by a hydraulic pressure; and an electric-motor controller configured to control the electric motor based on a frictional force in the turning mechanism and a road-surface reaction force that acts between (a) a tire on the left wheel and a tire on the right wheel and (b) a road surface.
