The manual steering gear 2 is provided with a worm gear 4A for transmitting power from an actuator 15 to a steering shaft 4, and a rack shaft 8 partially provided with a tapered cutout part 11. The position control device 12 generates a position control signal Vp on the basis of a steering position setting signal Ps from a steering position setting means 16 and a steering position signal Po from a steering position sensor 17 when a switch signal Sw generated in association with the operation of an operating switch 18 provided at a control panel in a cabin is supplied to a position control means 13, and perform the driving control of an actuator 15 through an actuator driving means 14.</p> |
