ELECTRIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS

摘要

An electric power steering apparatus (1) includes a steering column (15) that is swung around a tilting spindle (27) during tilt adjustment, a fixing bracket (13) that supports the steering column through the tilting spindle (27), and an electric motor (19) that is supported by the steering column (15) and that is used as a steering auxiliary. The fixing bracket (13) includes a pair of side plates (34, 35) facing each other with the steering shaft (3) therebetween in a vehicle width direction (W1) and a connection member (36) through which the pair of side plates (34, 35) are connected together. Either one of the pair of side plates (34, 35) is provided with a first restraining portion (46) that restrains the steering column (15) from rotating in a first rotation direction (Z1) around the tilting spindle (27). The remaining one of the pair of side plates (34, 35) is provided with a second restraining portion (49) that restrains the steering column (15) from rotating in a second rotation direction (Z2) opposite to the first rotation direction (Z1).
