Abstract
An electric power steering system for an automobile which includes a steering shaft having a steering torque transmitting shaft. The electric power steering system includes a housing mounted on the steering torque transmitting shaft, a torsion torque sensor, in the housing, for detecting a torsion torque in the steering shaft during a steering operation to generate a torsion torque signal representing the detected torsion torque, and a controlling unit for providing a drive signal, in response to the torsion torque signal, to control an electric motor, mounted to the housing and operatively connected to the steering torque transmitting shaft, for reducing a steering effort. The controlling unit is integrally mounted to the housing.
