  • Patent number: 10508722
    Abstract: An electric linear motion actuator is provided which includes an outer ring member, a rotary shaft, planetary rollers, and a carrier including a disk, and in which the outer ring member is formed with a helical rib, each of the planetary rollers being formed with circumferential grooves in which the helical rib is engaged. When the rotary shaft rotates, the planetary rollers rotate about their axes while revolving around the rotary shaft so that the outer ring member axially linearly moves. The actuator includes thrust roller and retainer assemblies each mounted between one of the planetary roller and the disk of the carrier, and each guided by a raceway, i.e., an end surface of the corresponding planetary roller. The actuator includes a common raceway disk common to all of the thrust roller and retainer assemblies, and mounted between the thrust roller and retainer assemblies and the disk of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 10479342
    Abstract: The electric brake device includes an electric motor, a friction member operator, a friction member, a brake rotor, and a control device. A braking force estimator provided in the control device includes: a direct estimator configured to convert output of a braking force sensor which detects a load or displacement corresponding amount, to a braking force; and an indirect estimator configured to estimate the braking force on the basis of information other than output of the braking force sensor. A range in which the braking force is estimated by the direct estimator is a specified low-braking-force range, and in a range beyond this range, estimation of the braking force is performed by the indirect estimator.

  • Publication number: 20190128351
    Abstract: In an electric linear motion actuator, while an axially forward load is not being applied to an object by an outer ring member, a preload is applied to a frictionally coupling surface by an elastic member, and, when the axially forward load is applied to the object by the outer ring member, an axial load applied to the frictionally coupling surface decreases by an amount equal to the axially rearward reaction force which the outer ring member receives from the object. The electric linear motion actuator includes a load sensor for supporting, through planetary rollers and a carrier, the axially rearward reaction force. The load sensor is arranged such that any change in magnitude of an axially forward load applied through a snap ring will not affect the value of the axially rearward reaction force detected by the load sensor.
