Abstract
A head of an output shaft of a linear actuator is modified so as to absorb vibrations that may be transmitted between the output shaft and a moving object. A linear actuator has an output shaft with a leading end to which a head is fixed. The head has an O-ring that is fitted thereto, and a part of the O-ring outwardly projects from the head. The O-ring is made of rubber that is softer than the material of the head. The head is contained in a containing space in an attachment, and in this condition, the O-ring contacts an inner circumferential surface of the containing space by deforming.
