ABSTRACT:
In an electric power steering device, a rotary element screwed on a rack engaged with a pinion, which is rotated by steering operation, is driven by a motor. A vehicle is steered by longitudinal shifting of the rack due to rotation of the pinion. By rotation of the rotary element, a steering assistance power along the longitudinal direction of the rack is generated. A torque limiter is provided between the rotary element and the output element of the motor.
