A power steering device equipped with a servo valve that is operated based on the relative rotation of the input shaft and output shaft and controls the supply and discharge of pressure oil to the power cylinder, and a reaction force mechanism that changes the steering torque according to vehicle speed, etc. A steering force control device includes a flow control valve that controls a constant flow of pressure oil supplied from a pressure fluid supply source to a flow rate according to vehicle speed etc. using a variable throttle and bypasses excess flow to the low pressure side, and this flow control valve. Steering of a power steering device comprising: means for introducing pressure oil at a flow rate controlled by the reaction force mechanism into the reaction force mechanism; and relief passage means for throttling the pressure oil introduced into the reaction force mechanism and releasing it to the low pressure side. Force control device.
