Abstract
Rotational force of a driving motor is transferred to a photosensitive drum via a planetary-roller reduction device, so that the photosensitive drum is rotated. A speed detector set on the shaft of the photosensitive drum detects the rotational speed of the photosensitive drum. In accordance with the detected rotational speed of the photosensitive drum, the rotational speed of the driving motor is adjusted so that the photosensitive drum is rotated at a constant speed.
