Abstract: A support portion (23) has three screw insertion portions (23d1, 23d2, and 23d3) which is fixed to a caliper, and arranged so as to surround an output shaft (39). Therefore, it is possible to firmly fix a case (21) to the caliper at these fixing locations. Additionally, since the fixing locations are determined so as to collectively define a “plane”, it is possible to effectively inhibit a sway of the case (21) with respect to the caliper. Furthermore, it is possible to inhibit a twist of the case (21), and it is possible to sufficiently support a vehicle requiring large torque such as a truck.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers, an intermediate transfer body, a plurality of primary transfer members, a secondary transfer member, a first guide member, and a controller. The first guide member guides a recording medium along a conveying direction. The controller controls a primary transfer bias and a secondary transfer bias. A plurality of the primary transfer members include an upstream side primary transfer member and a downstream side primary transfer member. The controller makes an absolute value of the primary transfer bias applied to the downstream side primary transfer member larger than an absolute value of the primary transfer bias applied to the upstream side primary transfer member. The controller lowers an absolute value of the secondary transfer bias when the recording medium separates from the first guide member.
