Abstract

An actuator includes: an output unithaving an output shaft; and a first wormand a second wormextending along a face perpendicular to the output shaft, wherein: the output unitincludes a rotating mechanismconfigured to be meshed with the first wormto rotate the output shaftabout a predetermined rotation axis, and a moving mechanismconfigured to be meshed with the second wormto move the output shaftin a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis; the first wormand the second wormare placed to sandwich the output shaft; and a distance between the second wormand the output shaftis shorter than a distance between the first wormand the output shaft
