Patent number: 10590964Abstract: A rotary actuator (10) is provided with a linear activation mechanism (40a) that causes a pinion (80) to rotate, and a cylinder body (12) in which a cylinder hole (28a) is formed. The linear activation mechanism (40a) comprises a rack (42) on which a plurality of teeth (44) that mesh with the pinion (80) are provided, and pistons (48a, 48b). The pistons (48a, 48b) are each provided with a piston main body (50a, 50b) that has a shape corresponding to that of the cylinder hole (28a). Each of the piston main bodies (50a, 50b) comprises a body (52a, 52b) and an extension section (54a, 54b). The ends of the rack (42) are connected to the extension sections (54a, 54b) of the set of pistons (48a, 48b), and a space (73a) shielded from the cylinder hole (28a) is formed between the bodies (52a, 52b) of the set of pistons (48a, 48b). The linear activation mechanism (40b) is also configured similarly.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsunori Magaribuchi, Takaaki Kobayashi

Patent number: 8646376Abstract: A plurality of ring-shaped sealing members are spaced from each other on the outer periphery of each of first and second end caps that seal openings of first and second cylinder holes. Ring-shaped flow paths are formed between adjacent ring-shaped sealing members. Parts of air flow paths that supply and discharge compressed air to and from pressure chambers of the cylinder holes are formed by the ring-shaped flow paths.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2009Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Kiyoshi Takeuchi, Mitsunori Magaribuchi, Kazuhiro Shinohara
