Steering apparatus for vehicle

TLDR
In this paper, the rotational speed of an electric motor was reduced at two stages by the two speed reducers, thereby achieving high output (high speed reduction) with high output.
Abstract
A speed reducer 40 of an electric power steering apparatus is configured as a 2-stage speed reducer equipped with a worm speed reducer 41 adapted to receive rotational torque from an electric motor 30 and output the rotational torque from an output element (worm wheel 412) while reducing rotational speed, and with a planetary-gear-type speed reducer 42 adapted to receive the rotational torque from the output element and output the rotational torque while reducing rotational speed. The rotational speed of the electric motor 30 is reduced at two stages by the two speed reducers, thereby achieving high output (high speed reduction). Speed-reducing elements (a sun gear, planetary gears, a carrier, etc.) of the planetary-gear-type speed reducer 42 are disposed in the interior of the worm wheel 412 of the worm speed reducer 41, thereby implementing compactness.

Low-backlash speed-reducing two-stage planetary gearing

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-backlash speed-reducing two-stage planetary gearing is proposed, where the first stage has oblique teeth in each case over the complete width of the tooth profiles which remain the same over the individual teeth, while, in the case of the teeth system in the second stage, the individual tooth edges have a continuously changing profile shift (conical gearwheels).
