The electric-powered actuator includes a control device including: a motor angle estimation unit, and a reverse-input holding control section having a function of engaging an engaging part with an engaged part by controlling a solenoid to set the reverse-input holding mechanism into a reverse-input holding state while the electric-powered actuator is applying a load and a function of, from the reverse-input holding state, disengaging the engaging part from the engaged part to set the reverse-input holding mechanism into a reverse-input holding release state. The reverse-input holding control section includes an engagement intermediate control function section configured to control the estimated rotation angle such that the engaged part and the engaging part come into a predetermined positional relation within a certain period of time, when the engaging part is brought into engagement with the engaged part and when the engaging part is brought out of engagement with the engaged part.
