    Abstract: Provided is a torque transmission joint that is able to suppress occurrence of noise when reversing the direction of rotation of the drive shaft. The first transmission member 17 fixed to the output shaft 12a which is a drive shaft is engaged with the first elastic member 20 in a state where the first gap in the circumferential direction is interposed, as well as with the intermediate transmission member 19 in a state where a gap in the circumferential direction which is larger than the first gap is interposed. The second transmission member 18 fixed to an end portion of the worm 8 is engaged with the second elastic member 21 in a state where the second gap in the circumferential direction is interposed, as well as with the intermediate transmission member 19 in a state where a gap in the circumferential direction which is larger than the second gap. The first annular convex portion 54 is pressure fitted to the first annular concave portion 38, and the second annular convex portion 60 is pressure fitted to the second annular concave portion 45 so as to prevent separation of the first, second elastic members 20, 21 with respect to the intermediate transmission member 19.

    Abstract: A core of a worm wheel has an axial end surface formed with a first annular recess and another axial end surface formed with a second annular recess. A rim portion has a first inner circumferential portion fixed to the first annular recess and a second inner circumferential portion fixed to the second annular recess. An outer circumferential wall surface of the second annular recess extends from a bottom surface of the second annular recess so as to be perpendicular to the bottom surface. A depth of the second annular recess is at least 0.1 mm but not deeper than half of a gate thickness.

    Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus has a first rolling bearing and a second rolling bearing rotatably supporting an output shaft. The first rolling bearing is provided between an inner peripheral surface of a through-hole of a gear housing and an outer peripheral surface of the output shaft. The second rolling bearing is provided between an inner peripheral surface of an intermediate plate press-fitted and fixed in an opening portion of the gear housing and the outer peripheral surface of the output shaft. An outer peripheral portion of the intermediate plate has alternately arranged large diameter portions and small diameter portions, and the large diameter portions are press-fitted in the gear housing.

    Abstract: A torque transmission joint to suppress occurrence of noise when reversing the direction of rotation of a drive shaft. A first transmission member fixed to an output shaft (the drive shaft) is engaged with a first elastic member such that a first gap in a circumferential direction is interposed, as well as with an intermediate transmission member such that a larger gap in the circumferential direction is interposed. A second transmission member fixed to an end portion of a worm is engaged with a second elastic member such that a second gap in the circumferential direction is interposed, as well as with the intermediate transmission member such that a larger gap in the circumferential direction is interposed. First and second annular convex portions are fitted to, respectively, first and second concave portions to prevent separation of the first and second elastic members with respect to the intermediate transmission member.

    Abstract: Worm wheel construction that is able to sufficiently increase the strength of the connecting portion between a hub 11a and a gear portion 12a, and to maintain sufficient durability even when applied to an electric power steering apparatus that applies a large auxiliary torque, is achieved.A synthetic resin gear portion 12a is molded and formed in the end portion on the outer-diameter side of a metal hub 11a. A first annular concave portion 15 is provided on one surface side in the axial direction of the hub 11a, and a second annular concave portion 22 is provided on the other surface side in the axial direction thereof. Part of the synthetic resin of the gear portion 12a is fed into the portions near the outer diameter of the first annular concave portion 15 and the second annular concave portion 22 to form a first restraining portion 18 and a second restraining portion 23. These restraining portions 18, 23 tightly hold the end portion on the outer-diameter side of the hub 11a, and improve the strength and rigidity of the connecting portion between the hub 11a and the gear portion 12a.
