The present invention is to provide an electro hydrostatic actuator excellent in a snubbing characteristic including a cylinder type actuator main body, a pistonhaving a piston rod, the piston slidingly moving in a cylinder of the actuator main body, a motor, a pumpfor supplying fluid according to the rotation of the motor, a mechanism for adjusting a running amount of the fluid into and from the cylinder according to the motion of the piston, and a reservoirfor adjusting the supply of the fluid corresponding to a volume difference generated according to the motion of the piston, and a controllerwhich controls the number of revolutions of the motor according to the calculated load torque, and a snubbing control method used for this. An electro hydrostatic actuator of realizing a snubbing mechanism capable of increasing energy efficiency, when used for a landing gear retraction/extension device of an airplane, can be provided.

Electro-hydrostatic actuator excellent in snubbing characteristic, and drive device used for the same, and control method used for the same
