In the above configuration, when the handle is operated, for example, to the right, pressure fluid is distributed to the distribution hole 41 and supplied to one chamber of the power cylinder. As a result, the pinion shaft 21 is rotated in the same direction as the steering shaft 23, and the rotation of the pinion shaft 21 causes the outer cylinder member 33 to slide to the left in the figure by a screw action.

However, when the steering wheel is turned all the way, such as when the steering wheel is stationary, the amount of sliding of the outer cylinder member 33 increases, and the relief groove 51 leading to the distribution hole 41 on the pressure side near the steering end shifts to the low pressure side. This prevents excessive pressure build-up at the steering end.

Further, when the handle is turned in the opposite direction to the steering end, the outer cylinder member 33 is slid to the right,
A relief groove 52 communicating with the distribution hole 42 on the pressure side is opened to the low pressure side via a discharge groove 46.
