In a first housing (), a swage portion () is formed at a place corresponding to the swage groove (), where at least the inclined portion () is formed.

Fixing mechanism, actuator, actuator for opening/closing vehicle door, and fixing method

An opening/closing body driving device for driving an opening/closing body is provided. The opening/closing body driving device includes: a motor, having a rotation shaft; a screw shaft, being rotated by the rotation shaft; a moving nut, being screwed to the screw shaft and moved in an axial direction of the screw shaft; and a connection part, being provided at the moving nut, wherein an arm for opening and closing the opening/closing body is connected to the connection part. The rotation shaft and the screw shaft are respectively provided on the same axis, and the connection part is provided at a radially outer side of the screw shaft.

Opening/closing body driving device

An actuator includes an actuator main body, an operating shaft attached to a tail gate, a vehicle body-side socket that fixes the actuator main body to an attachment surface of a bracket, and a guide part installed between the attachment surface of the bracket and the vehicle body-side socket, wherein the vehicle body-side socket is fixed to the bracket via the guide part, and the guide part restricts rotation of the vehicle body-side socket about an arbitrary straight line crossing a line in a direction normal to the attachment surface.
