  • Publication number: 20060181161
    Abstract: The actuator device includes: a case having a motor housing unit and a gear housing unit; a motor housed in the motor housing unit; and an output gear rotatably housed in the gear housing unit of the case, the output gear driven to rotate by the driving shaft of the motor; the actuator device supporting the motor in a floatable fashion within the motor housing unit via an elastic element; characterized in that the elastic element includes a main body floating part for holding the motor main body of the motor and a pair of bearing floating parts for holding the bearings in front and rear of the driving shaft of the motor and that the main body floating part and the pair of bearing floating parts are integrally formed by way of an elastic element.
