The state variation detection circuit sequentially compares pulse signals output from two delay elements of a plurality of delay elements among pulse signals latched by the low-order latch circuit and outputs a state variation detection signal when states of the two pulse signals are different. The encode signal latch circuit latches an encode signal when the encode signal having a state corresponding to a delay element outputting a pulse signal input to the state variation detection circuit is input and the state variation detection signal is input.

Abstract: In forming an actuator, a large end surface of a tapered roller of a tapered roller bearing is shot with minute particles of silicon carbide having a diameter of 0.5 to 100 ?m and having an angle formed by crushing, and such a surface is scraped concavely at a diameter within a range from 0.5 to 100 ?m to form a large number of concavities having a depth of equal to or greater than 1 ?m at a pitch of equal to or less than 200 ?m. The concavities are non-continuous and isolated from each other, and serve as a lubricant puddle. The concavities are formed by scraping and not by plastic deformation, and thus the surface is not hardened.
