ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a motor-driven power steering apparatus structured such as to apply a steering assist force generated by a motor to a steering system of a motor vehicle or a vehicle in accordance with a rotation force of an electric motor on the basis of a steering torque detected by a torque sensor. Further, the invention relates to a rotation angle sensor for detecting a rotation angle of a steering shaft, a detected portion of the rotation angle sensor is provided within the speed reduction gear, and a detecting portion of the rotation angle sensor is provided in a radial direction of the steering shaft and in an outer side of a bearing in the speed reduction gear.
