Abstract
A transmission includes a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a planetary gear mechanism and a fixing element. A ring gear is provided with a first gear meshing with an output gear on an output member and a second gear meshing with a plurality of pinion gears. The output gear and the first gear include helical gears meshing with each other. The second gear and the plurality of pinion gears include helical gears meshing with each other. Helix angles of the output gear and the first gear and helix angles of the second gear and the plurality of pinion gears are set so that a thrust force generated in a case where the output gear and the first gear rotate and a thrust force generated in a case where the second gear and the plurality of pinion gears rotate are directed towards each other.
