An actuatorfor pushing a plurality of friction platesto a plurality of platesto be braked is composed of members including electroactive polymer, the shape of the elastomer of which is changed by electric energy.

Electric brake device

A ball ramp mechanism constituting a force transmission converting mechanism is inserted into a cylinder of a caliper body and a relative rotation angle thereof is restricted to a predetermined range. Further, by successively assembling a piston head, a ramp plate and a ball and a screw shaft member constituting the ball ramp mechanism, a coil spring and an end plate in this order and by catching the end plate by a slit of a piston case in a state of flexing the coil spring, respective parts are elastically connected and assembled by the spring.

Electric disc brake

Process for preparing deproteinized natural rubber latex molding and

A light-weight and small-size electric motor in which linear movement can be obtained without requiring any special movement conversion mechanism. The electric motor includes a rotor (4), a rotary shaft (5, 6, 5a) coupled to the rotor (4), and a screw mechanism (7) for Supporting the rotary shaft (5, 6, 5a), the screw mechanism (7) being configured such that the rotor (4) is moved in an axial direction of the rotary shaft (5, 6, 5a) by movement of the rotary shaft (5, 6, 5a) within the screw mechanism (7) upon rotation of the rotor (4).
