    Abstract: An electric power steering device including: a control rotational displacement calculation unit configured to calculate a control rotational displacement when a steering angle of the steering system is in an angular range from a maximum allowable steering angle for the steering system to a predetermined threshold steering angle; a control steering angle shifting unit configured to calculate the control rotational displacement corrected by a correction amount based on one of the steering torque and rack axial force and a sign of one of the control rotational displacement and the steering angle as a shift control steering angle; and a feedforward control unit configured to output a second current command value based on the shift control steering angle and steering velocity. An assist control is controlled with a third current command value calculated by adding the second current command value to the first current command value.

    Abstract: In a detection method for detecting an end position of a mechanism portion of a turning device, detection of a limit position of a steering angle in a direction of a torque value is started when the torque value of the mechanism portion loaded by at least one of a drive force from an actuator and steering torque to the mechanism portion exceeds a first threshold. The limit position continues to be detected by storing a peak value of the steering angle in the mechanism portion as the limit position while the torque value of the mechanism portion is between the first threshold and a second threshold. The stored limit position is regarded as the end position indicated by the torque value when the torque value of the mechanism portion exceeds the second threshold.
