An electric actuator includes a motor portion, a circuit board, a speed reduction mechanism, a busbar holder that holds a busbar, and a housing. The housing has a motor case and a compartmental wall. The compartmental wall has a through-hole which penetrates the compartmental wall in an axial direction. The busbar holder has a base portion and a projecting portion which projects from the base portion in the axial direction and is disposed in the through-hole. An end portion of the busbar at one side projects from the busbar holder toward one side in the axial direction and is connected to the circuit board, and an end portion of the busbar at the other side projects into the through-hole from a side surface of the projecting portion of the busbar holder and is connected to a coil of a stator.

Electric actuator with bus bar holder

An electric actuator is provided and includes: a motor unit having a motor shaft extending in an axial direction, a speed reducer connected to one side of the motor shaft in the axial direction, an output section having an output shaft to which rotation of the motor shaft is transmitted via the speed reducer, and a housing accommodating the motor unit, the speed reducer and the output section. The motor shaft and the output shaft are disposed apart from each other in the radial direction of the motor shaft. The motor unit has a first bearing that rotatably supports the motor shaft. The housing has a housing main body formed of resin, and a metal member formed of metal and held by the housing main body. The metal member has a bearing holding section that holds the first bearing, and an output shaft support section that supports the output shaft.

Electric actuator

An electric actuator includes: a motor part, having a motor shaft that extends in an axial direction and is rotated in both directions; a deceleration mechanism, connected to the motor shaft; a circuit board, electrically connected to the motor part; an output part, having an output shaft to which rotation of the motor shaft is transmitted through the deceleration mechanism; a sensor magnet, attached to the motor shaft; and a motor part sensor, detecting a magnetic field of the sensor magnet and detecting rotation of the motor shaft. The motor part has a rotor magnet that is fixed to the motor shaft. The rotor magnet and the sensor magnet each have multiple magnetic poles in a circumferential direction around the motor shaft. The magnetic poles of the rotor magnet and the magnetic poles of the sensor magnet are disposed to be shifted from each other in the circumferential direction.

Electric actuator and actuator device

An electric actuator attached to a vehicle is provided and includes: a motor unit, a speed reducer, a circuit board, an output section, and a housing that accommodates the motor unit, the speed reducer, the circuit board and the output section. The housing has a motor case that opens at one side in an axial direction, and a circuit board case attached to one side of the motor case in the axial direction to close an opening of the motor case and accommodates the circuit board. The motor case has a motor case main body that accommodates the motor unit, and multiple attaching leg sections protruding from the motor case main body and fixed to the vehicle. The attaching leg sections protrude outward from the circuit board case when seen in the axial direction.

There is provided an electric actuator in which a speed reduction mechanism and an output portion are disposed adjacent to each other in a radial direction in an opening portion of a housing main body, a cover member has a speed reduction mechanism cover which faces and surrounds the speed reduction mechanism, an output portion cover which faces and surrounds the output portion, and a constricted portion which connects the speed reduction mechanism cover and the output portion cover, the cover member is fixed to the housing main body by a plurality of caulking portions provided on a side wall portion, and, between two adjacent caulking portions interposing the constricted portion therebetween, one of the two caulking portions of the speed reduction mechanism cover is fixed toward a central axis of the speed reduction mechanism, and the other is fixed toward a central axis of the output portion.

An actuator apparatus includes an oil passage body including an oil passage therein, an electric actuator, a movable unit moved at least in a first direction and a second direction by the electric actuator, and an auxiliary device including an actuating member moved by hydraulic pressure of oil in the oil passage. When the electric actuator moves the movable unit in the second direction, the auxiliary device applies, through the actuating member to the movable unit, a force pointing in a direction that moves the movable unit in the second direction.

Actuator apparatus

An electric actuator includes: a motor unit; a speed reducer; a circuit board; a busbar; and a housing. The housing has a motor case and a circuit board case attached to one side of the motor case in an axial direction. The circuit board case has a bottom wall blocking an opening of the motor case. The bottom wall has a bottom wall through-hole that penetrates through the bottom wall in the axial direction on an outer side beyond the speed reducer in the radial direction. A busbar has a busbar main body section, a coil line connecting section to which a coil line extending on one side in the axial direction from a coil is connected, and a connection terminal section. The connection terminal section extends to one side of the bottom wall in the axial direction via the bottom wall through-hole and is connected to the circuit board.

There is provided a breather structure of an actuator in which the breather structure is provided in a housing of the actuator, the breather structure including: a recessed groove positioned on an outer surface of the housing; a breathing hole which is positioned on a bottom surface of the recessed groove and passes through the housing in a first direction; a filter fixed to an inside of the housing so that the filter closes an opening of the breathing hole; a lid body which partially covers a region of the recessed groove including the breathing hole from an outside of the housing when viewed from the first direction; a breather opening portion positioned at a portion of the recessed groove exposed from the lid body; and a protrusion portion which protrudes from the bottom surface of the recessed groove to a side of the lid body.
