Abstract
An electric power steering equipment according to the present invention comprises a motor for providing a steering assisting force to a steering shaft, a torque detecting means for detecting a steering torque, an amplifying and phase-compensating means for amplifying and phase-compensating a detected value of the torque detecting means, and a controlling means for controlling a drive of the motor based on an output of the amplifying and phase-compensating means, wherein the controlling means restricts a control signal for driving the motor by an upper limit value and a lower limit value which are set in response to the detected value of the torque detecting means.
