Abstract
A driving apparatus has a problem in that foreign matter, such as grease, in a reduction gear moves from the reduction gear to a coupling side. Therefore, a driving apparatus includes an input shaft with a hollow space, a motor that rotates the input shaft, a reduction gear that receives the power of the motor from the input shaft, an output shaft inserted through the hollow space of the input shaft and adapted to rotate about the rotation axis of the motor, and a coupling connected to a tip end of the output shaft. A first limiting member for limiting the movement of foreign matter in the reduction gear toward the coupling side is arranged between the reduction gear and the coupling.
