  • Patent number: 8770052
    Abstract: A linear actuator that does not require a high assembly precision is provided. A linear actuator includes a motor portion including a rotary shaft, a rotor, and a stator, a first bearing portion that supports a first end of the rotary shaft, a locknut threadably engaged on the first end of the rotary shaft, and a ball screw mechanism including a ball screw nut screwed to the locknut and a ball screw threadably engaged with the ball screw nut. Gaps formed between an outer peripheral portion of the rotary shaft and an inner peripheral portion of the locknut, except a male thread portion formed on the rotary shaft and a female thread portion formed on the locknut threadably engaged with each other, are defined to have respective predetermined sizes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8692428
    Abstract: A linear actuator having an output shaft with a long moving distance is provided. A linear actuator includes a rotary shaft, a motor portion having a rotor and a stator, a ball screw mechanism including a ball screw nut fixed to a first end of the rotary shaft and a ball screw, a casing assembly including a first end bracket and a second end bracket, an electromagnetic brake device including a rotary brake disc, a stationary brake disc, and an electromagnetic coil, and a brake cover for covering the electromagnetic brake device. The electromagnetic brake device has a hollow structure allowing a second end of the rotary shaft to pass therethrough.

  • Patent number: 7868497
    Abstract: An airtight-type electric motor capable of reducing vibration is provided. Inside ribs of a pair of end brackets and are respectively fitted into core end portions of a stator core. Outside ribs of the pair of end brackets and are respectively brought into contact against end surfaces of the core end portions of a yoke of the stator core. With this arrangement, the pair of end brackets and are fixed to the stator core, and a housing and the stator core are arranged, without being coupled together.
