Patent ID: 8862331

Claim:
A controller for a steering apparatus wherein said steering apparatus comprises a tilting mechanism adjusting a tilting angle of a steering wheel, and an electrical motor driving the tilting mechanism; said controller comprises an arithmetic member defining a predetermined relationship between said tilting angle and a supplying current to said electrical motor so that an operating velocity of the tilting mechanism is constant; said controller controls said supplying current to said electrical motor by using said arithmetic member; said arithmetic member includes maps defining a predetermined relationship between said tilting angle and said supplying current to said electrical motor; said maps include a first current map that defines the predetermined relationship between said tilting angle and said supplying current to said motor for increasing the tilting angle, and a second current map that defines the predetermined relationship between said tilting angle and said supplying current to said motor for decreasing the tilting angle; and said supplying current defined by the second current map is smaller than said supplying current defined by the first current map.
