Abstract
Provided is an actuator for a steering system, which can be increased in degree of freedom for design change, regardless of a configuration change of a hydraulic power steering side. The actuator for a steering system comprises a transmission mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of a steering shaft to a steered wheel, a piston disposed in the transmission mechanism, and a pair of pressure chambers configured to generate a force acting to move the piston. The actuator for a steering system is disposed between a hydraulic power steering system, which imparts a steering force to the steered wheel along with the movement of the piston, and a steering wheel. The actuator for a steering system includes an input shaft which is rotatably and axially supported by the housing and disposed in the steering wheel side; an output shaft which is rotatably and axially supported by the housing and disposed in the hydraulic power steering system; a torsion bar connecting the input shaft and the output shaft; a motor rotor disposed around the outer periphery of the output shaft within the housing and configured to rotate integrally with the output shaft; a motor stator disposed around the ou…
