    摘要: In the event of a failure of a first electric motor drive signal generator, e.g., the microcomputer, which generates a first electric motor drive signal for performing a feedback control, a second electric motor drive signal generator, e.g., a PWM signal generator, which is made up of discrete circuit components, directly converts a steering torque signal into a second electric motor drive signal. An electric motor, which generates the assistive steering force, is driven by the second electric motor drive signal.

    摘要: A magnetostrictive torque sensor includes a single magnetostrictive film disposed on a steering shaft, and first and second coils for detecting changes in a magnetic property of the magnetostrictive film. The single magnetostrictive film includes a first anisotropic region and a second anisotropic region, having respective magnetic anisotropies inverse to each other. The first coil is disposed in confronting relation to the first anisotropic region, whereas the second coil is disposed in confronting relation to the second anisotropic region.

    摘要: Even in the even that, when a steering torque is applied to a steering wheel 11 of an electric power steering system, a pinion shaft 21 of a rack-and-pinion steering gear box 16 is curved by a bending moment generated by a reaction force which a pinion 20 receives from a rack 18, since a steering shaft 14 on which a magnetostriction torque sensor 34 is provided is connected to the pinion shaft 21 via a universal joint 15, the transmission of the bending moment to the steering shaft 14 is made difficult to occur. As a result, the effect imposed by the bending moment on the detection accuracy of the magnetostriction torque sensor 34 provided on the steering shaft 14 can be suppressed to a minimum level.
