Patent attributes
An electric power steering assembly includes an electric motor, a reduction mechanism for reducing the speed of an output rotation of the electric motor, and a reduction-mechanism housing accommodating therein the reduction mechanism. The electric motor includes: an output shaft rotatably supported by the reduction-mechanism housing, a motor housing formed integrally with the reduction-mechanism housing, a rotor, and a stator assembly accommodated in an annular space defined between the rotor and the motor housing. When the stator assembly is assembled in the annular space via an opening at an end portion of the motor housing, a guided portion on an outside circumference of a stator yoke is guided by a guide portion on an inside circumference of the motor housing.
