1. A steering device, comprising:
a speed reducer configured to decelerate a rotational power input from one surface side while increasing a torque of the rotational power and output rotation from a cylindrical output section disposed on another surface side, and the output section is provided with a reduction mechanism inside;
a motor provided on the one surface side and configured to input the rotational power to the speed reducer; and
a control device configured to control the motor,
wherein the motor includes a rotor configured to generate the rotational power,
wherein the rotor includes a rotor output shaft disposed coaxially with an output axis of the output section,
wherein the motor inputs the rotational power from one end side of the rotor output shaft to the speed reducer,
wherein the control device is disposed on the other end side of the rotor output shaft coaxially with the rotor output shaft and includes a sensing unit configured to sense rotation of the rotor,
wherein the output section has an arm provided thereon that is configured to rotate about the output axis in a circumferential direction of the output section, and
wherein the arm is disposed to project from the output section in a radial direction orthogonal to the output axis.
