Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0115956A2] Disclosed is an electrically operated power steering apparatus that has an electric motor disposed parallel to a rack shaft. The system is designed such that the motor can be installed in any angle around a rack housing of small diameter. This permits easy installation and flexibility of design. The apparatus is also designed to accommodate off-the-shelf electric motors that are already commercially available so as to eliminate the need to customize an electric motor for each application.
