  • Patent number: 10767709
    Abstract: An electronic actuator according to the present invention comprises: a shaft; a bobbin; a nut; an upper bushing; a housing; a bearing; and a lower bushing. The shaft rotates by receiving a rotational force from an engine crank shaft. The bobbin is mounted to surround the middle portion of the shaft, wherein the bobbin has a coil wound inside thereof. The nut is made of a magnetic material and mounted to surround one side in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, while being screw-connected to a clutch. The upper bushing is made of as nonmagnetic material and is press-fit between the one side in the longitudinal direction of the shaft and the nut, so as to connect the shaft and the nut to form a single body. The housing is made of a magnetic material and comprises a bottom plate and a side wall to surround the other side in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, wherein the side wall extends to partially overlap the nut.
