ABSTRACT:
A power-assisted steering system for an automotive vehicle has a steering shaft rotatably supported by a steering column, a steering wheel and an electric motor for assisting in rotating the steering shaft when the steering torque is too great. The electric motor has an output shaft offset from the steering shaft. A power-assisting structure includes a motor driven member and is mounted on the steering shaft for selectively connecting a steering torque transmitted from the steering wheel or the motor output transmitted from motor driven member to the steering shaft. A torque detector is disposed between the steering wheel and the steering shaft to detect a predetermined torque imparted to the steering wheel so as to actuate the electric motor, whereby assisting in rotating the steering shaft.
