    摘要: A ball screw nut has a pair of through holes and a first passage that allows the through holes to communicate with each other and that opens radially outward. In each of the through holes, a ball screw mechanism has a circulation member having a second passage in which a ball can move between a ball raceway and the first passage. The ball screw mechanism has a circulation path for communicating the two connection points set on the ball raceway by the first passage and each of the second passages. A driven pulley has a thin portion that defines a radial clearance between an inner periphery of the driven pulley and an outer periphery of the ball screw nut. The ball screw mechanism has a pressing lid that presses down each of the circulation members from the outer periphery of the ball screw nut and that covers the first passage.

    摘要: Provided are a power supply circuit and a motor control device configured to suppress complexity in management of the power supply circuit. A switching unit acquires identification information that is information corresponding to a type of a torque sensor. Based on the acquired identification information, the switching unit outputs either a reference voltage or a power supply voltage as a standard voltage. A voltage application unit applies to the torque sensor an operation voltage in accordance with a type of the torque sensor based on the power supply voltage or the reference voltage that is the standard voltage of the voltage application unit and that is applied by the switching unit.

    摘要: A driving force transmission device includes an input rotation member and output rotation member, a multiple-disc clutch, a pressing mechanism, and a control device that includes a current supply circuit. The control device is configured to compute a torque command value based on a state of a vehicle, the torque command value being a driving force that needs to be transmitted by the multiple-disc clutch, to compute a current command value, to correct the current command value, and to control the current supply circuit such that an electric current depending on the current command value is supplied to the pressing mechanism. The control device is configured to perform the correction so as to increase or decrease the current command value by a correction amount depending on a change rate of the torque command value.

    摘要: A pressure reducing valve includes: a body, a valve seat, and a valve element opening and closing the valve seat according to a difference between a pressure on the inlet side and a pressure on the outlet side. A pressure chamber, which is a space part between the valve element and the valve seat, is provided on the inlet side of the valve element. The valve element includes a plurality of horizontal holes each opening to the pressure chamber, and a vertical hole bringing the horizontal holes and the outlet side of the valve element into communication with each other. The horizontal holes and the vertical hole are provided in such a manner that a value of a ratio of a flow channel area of the vertical hole to a total area that is a total of flow channel areas of the horizontal holes exceeds 1.16.

    摘要: An ECU independently controls power supply to two winding systems in a motor on a per-winding-system basis based on current command values each calculated for a corresponding winding system in accordance with a target assist torque. When a first winding system fails, the ECU transitions from a first state in which the ECU causes the winding groups of the two winding systems to produce the target assist torque to a second state in which the ECU causes the winding group of the other normal winding system to produce the target assist torque. If the current command value for the normal winding system is equal to or below a current threshold value that is set with reference to zero or a value close to zero when the failed winding system recovers to its normal state in the second state, the ECU transitions from the second state to the first state.
