  • Patent number: 7465248
    Abstract: A planetary gear type reduction gear with torque limiter including an input shaft (7) of an output shaft of a DC motor and an output shaft (14) are journalized on a stationary member (11). At least one stage of the planetary gear type reduction mechanism includes a central gear (8), a planetary gear (34) meshed with the central gear (8), an inner gear (22) meshed with the planetary gear (34), and a carrier (30) journalizing the planetary gear (34). The inner gear (22) is disposed with a clearance to the stationary member 11 in a radial direction, and the inner gear (22) is opposed and disposed to the stationary member (11) in the axial direction by means of friction members (26, 28), which are urged against the inner gear (22). The inner gear 22 is retained at the side of the stationary member (11) in a slip rotation condition by the friction force between the friction members (26, 28) and the inner gear (22).
