Abstract
The present embodiments may provide a steer-by-wire type steering apparatus which can significantly reduce production cost by reducing the number of components and simplifying the assembly procedure, by eliminating a pinion gear, etc., and sensing the position of a sliding bar on the basis of rotation information detected from a gear box which transfers the rotational force of a motor to the sliding bar.
