Abstract: A displacement magnification device has a first link portion including a first rigid body and a first plate spring that couples the first rigid body to a supporting portion and a movable portion. A second link portion includes a second rigid body and a second plate spring that couples the second rigid body to the supporting portion and the movable portion. In this structure, the first rigid body and the second rigid body play roles to suppress the bending of the first plate spring and the second plate spring. In addition, a connection portion between the first plate spring and the supporting portion, a connection portion between the second plate spring and the supporting portion, a connection portion between the first plate spring and the movable portion, and a connection portion between the second plate spring and the movable portion play roles of elastic hinges.

Abstract: An electric linear actuator has a housing with an electric motor mounted on the housing. A speed reduction mechanism and ball screw mechanism converts rotational motion to axial linear motion. A nut is rotationally but axially immovably supported by bearings on the housing. A screw shaft is coaxially integrated with the drive shaft. The shaft is inserted into the nut, via helical grooves and a large number of balls. The screw shaft is non-rotationally supported on the housing but is axially movable. The housing has a first housing and a second housing arranged with their end faces abutting against each other. Joining surfaces of the end faces of the first and second housings are sealed by a curing liquid curable material.

Abstract: An electric linear actuator has a screw shaft incapable of rotating with respect to the housing. The screw shaft provides axial movement. A steel sleeve is fit into a bag like housing hole of the housing. A recessed groove is formed on the inner circumference of the sleeve and extends in a shaft direction. A locking pin, applied with metal plating, is inserted into an end of the screw shaft. The locking pin engages the recessed groove. The end of the sleeve is externally fit with a cap. The cap is fit into a base portion of the bag like housing hole of the housing.
