An electric power steering apparatus comprising a rack shaft having two racks, a first rack-and-pinion mechanism for transferring a steering torque to the rack shaft, and a second rack-and-pinion mechanism for transferring an assist torque to the rack shaft. The second rack-and-pinion mechanism includes a pinion and a rack both being helical gears so that a large torque can be transmitted to the rack shaft. Teeth of the pinion and rack are arc profiled. The arc profiled teeth mesh with each other through a large contact area of concave and convex surfaces thereof and hence with a reduced contact pressure compared to involute profiled teeth. The arc profiled teeth thus have increased surface fatigue strength, bending strength and bending fatigue strength and can transmit an assist torque sufficiently to the rack shaft. Moreover, they have durability sufficient to withstand a torque load of a motor inertia.

Provided is an electric power steering device in which the operation feeling is improved without a decrease in commercial value. A phase compensation unit performs a frequency shift on a compensation frequency band compensated by the phase compensation unit. The phase compensation unit performs phase-shift in the compensation frequency band through a frequency shift process, instead of an increase in compensation gain. Therefore, it is possible to minimize occurrences of minute vibrations and abnormal noise in the steering system including the motor that accompany an increase in gain, and to improve the operation feeling and commercial value.

In an electric power steering apparatus, an elastic member, disposed between the steering shaft and the housing, configured to be elastically deformed in accordance with rotation or displacement in a vehicle width direction, of the steering shaft. At least two bearings, disposed with a gap in an axial direction of the steering shaft, are configured to support the steering shaft. The elastic member is disposed between the bearings. A supporting member may be disposed between the steering shaft and the elastic member and configured to be displaced by a rotation of a predetermined angle or predetermined distance in accordance with the rotation or a displacement, in the width direction of the vehicle, of the steering shaft with slidable support for the steering shaft. The elastic member is fixed to the supporting member and abuts the housing.

An electric damper which does not transmit unbalance wheel vibration to a vehicle body is provided. A low-pass cutoff frequency setting unit and a high-pass cutoff frequency setting unit respectively set the cutoff frequencies for band-stop filters to a frequency band corresponding to unbalance wheel vibration based on a signal indicating a vehicle speed from a vehicle speed sensor, and a function as a band-stop filter comprising a low-pass filter computation unit, a high-pass filter computation unit and an adder is computed for a displacement rate of the vertical motion of a wheel calculated by a differentiating unit in a damper control unit. A damper control amount computation unit calculates a control amount of controlling an electric motor for a motor-driven damper based on the calculated filtered displacement rate, and outputs a control signal to a motor driving unit through a driving circuit output unit.
