Abstract: A throttle device for an internal combustion engine designed to absorb variations in dimensions of components by centering a closed-bottom tube of an integral plug-type slide bearing with a plastic shaft part of a throttle shaft, inserting a tube of the slide bearing in a ring-shaped clearance formed between an inner circumference of a first shaft insertion hole of a first bearing support of a throttle body and outer circumference of a first sliding part of the plastic shaft, then fixing by welding a ring-shaped end face of a flange of the slide bearing to a ring-shaped end face of the first bearing support using a welding method such as laser welding.

Abstract: Vibration insulators made of heatproof elastomer are integrally molded with an engine joint section of the heatproof resinous throttle body and a motor holder. Thus, engine vibration transferred from an engine intake manifold to the throttle body and the motor can be absorbed by the vibration insulators. Therefore, without increase of components and reduction of assembling workability, the vibration can be suppressed.
