Abstract
A rotary actuator is used in a shift-by-wire system for a vehicle. The rotary actuator includes a motor, a controller, a housing, and a biasing member. The controller controls the motor. The housing supports a rotor assembly of the motor and holds the controller. The biasing member biases the rotor assembly in an axial direction to eliminate a thrust movement gap between the rotor assembly and the housing.
