A shaft coupler that couples a worm shaft and an output shaft of an electric motor in an electric power steering device includes a joint on a motor side that is connected to the output shaft, a joint on a worm side that is connected to the worm shaft, and a coupling that is provided between the joints and that is for transmitting rotational torque of the electric motor to the worm shaft. The joint on the motor side and the joint on the worm side, each having a plurality of protrusion parts that extend in an axial direction, are arranged so that the protrusion parts are aligned alternately in a circumferential direction. The coupling is formed by a plurality of caps that are fitted to the protrusion parts of the joint on the motor side or the joint on the worm side.
