ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic servo device for electric power steering system for vehicles including a driving control circuit (100) adapted to generate a torque magnitude signal (Sa) and a torque direction signal (Sdr, Sdl), based on an output signal (VR, VL) from a torque detection mechanism (11) for detecting steering torque (Ti) acting on an input shaft (1) connected to a steering wheel and an output signal (Vf) from a vehicle speed detection mechanism (50), and to feed, to an electric motor (18) for applying auxiliary torque to an output shaft (4) operatively interconnected with a steered wheel, an armature current (Io) of such a magnitude and in such a direction of conduction as desirous in accordance with both the torque magnitude signal (Sa) and the torque direction signal (Sdr, Sdl), and a dead zone (2K.sub.1 or Dl, Dm, Dh) set for the torque magnitude signal (Sa), wherein the dead zone (2K.sub.1 or Dl, Dm, Dh) of the torque magnitude signal (Sa) has a band width thereof widened with increase of the vehicle speed, in accordance with the output signal (Vf) from the vehicle speed detecting mechanism (50).
