In a reduction-transmission mechanism, an input member is arranged at such a position that a size obtained by adding a fitting clearance formed between a ball bearing and an outer periphery of an eccentric portion, a fitting clearance formed between the ball bearing and an inner periphery of the input member, which defines a center hole, and a radial internal clearance of the ball bearing is smaller than a size obtained by adding a fitting clearance formed between an outer periphery of each of a plurality of output members and a corresponding one of needle roller bearings, a fitting clearance formed between each of the needle roller bearings and an inner periphery of the input member, which defines a corresponding one of a plurality of pin insertion holes, and a radial internal clearance of each of the needle roller bearings.

Speed reduction mechanism, and motor torque transmission device including the speed reduction mechanism

In a driving force transmission apparatus, an oil inlet portion for introducing hydraulic fluid from one of spaces to the other one of the spaces is formed, and an apparatus case has an oil outlet portion for delivering the hydraulic fluid from the other one of the spaces to an outside of the other one of the spaces with an oil delivery capacity lower than an oil introducing capacity of the oil inlet portion. A pressure regulation valve for bringing the oil inlet portion into an open state upon reception of hydraulic pressure higher than or equal to a predetermined pressure from hydraulic fluid is arranged at the oil inlet portion.

Driving force transmission apparatus

A speed reduction mechanism includes: a speed reduction unit that includes an input member formed of an external gear that makes circular motion about a rotation axis with an eccentric amount, and a rotation force applying member formed of an internal gear that is in mesh with the input member; and a lubricating oil supply unit that supplies lubricating oil to a bearing of the speed reduction unit. The lubricating oil supply unit includes an oil tank arranged outside of the rotation force applying member, an oil delivery passage that delivers the lubricating oil to the oil tank, and a first oil introduction passage that introduces the lubricating oil from the oil tank to the bearing. The lubricating oil is delivered to the oil delivery passage through pumping action of the input member based on the circular motion.
