Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an electric power steering gear reaching a pivotable limit with the inertia of the motor without giving impact to a steering mechanism. CONSTITUTION:Steering speed is detected by a steering speed detecting section 21. When it exceeds a predetermined value, a steering angle is detected by the output of an adder section 23. When the steering angle exceeds a predetermined value and the steering angle is steered in the direction of increasing the steering angle, the vehicle speed and steering torque are further detected by a vehicle speed sensor 4 and torque sensor 3 and when the former is less than a predetermined value and the latter exceeds a predetermined value, motor driving current determined by the steering torque is correctively reduced.
