Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a power steering apparatus capable of realizing a reduction in an axial dimension of the apparatus. A resolver 16 , which detects a rotational position of a motor rotor 13 , is provided between a motor element 15 and a steering housing 6 in a direction of an x axis. A bolt 19 , which fixes a motor housing 17 to the steering housing 6 , is provided so as to overlap the resolver 16 in the direction of the x axis radially outside the resolver 16.
