Abstract
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a motorized power steering device wherein auxiliary torque generated by an electric motor (43) is added to a rotation shaft (24) via a speed reduction mechanism (44). This manufacturing method comprises a shaft mounting process wherein the rotation shaft (24) is rotatably mounted in a housing (51), and a speed reduction mechanism installing process wherein subsequent to the mounting of the shaft, the speed reduction mechanism (44) is installed on the rotation shaft (24).
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a motorized power steering device wherein a steering torque transmitted from a steering wheel to a rotation shaft is detected by a steering torque sensor when the steering wheel is steered, and an additional torque generated by an electric motor in accordance with the detected steering torque is transmitted to the rotation shaft via a speed reduction mechanism, the method comprising the steps of:
- rotatably mounting the rotation shaft in a housing having a top part opening;
- and
- then, installing the speed reduction mechanism on the rotation shaft.
