Publication number: 20190207472Abstract: An electric actuator includes: a motor unit that has a motor shaft and a rotor main body; a speed reducer; a circuit board; an output section; a detection target section; a motor unit sensor; a preload member; and a support section. The motor shaft passes through a through-hole and penetrates through the circuit board in an axial direction. The detection target section is attached to a portion, which protrudes to one side in the axial direction beyond the circuit board, of the motor shaft. The detection target section faces a surface of the circuit board via a gap. The motor unit sensor is fixed to a portion, which faces the detection target section via a gap, of a surface of the circuit board. The preload member applies a preload to the motor shaft toward the other side in the axial direction and presses the motor shaft against the support section.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Applicant: NIDEC TOSOK CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka UEMATSU, Shun KATO, Ryunosuke OIKAWA, Yuzo AKASAKA, Kazumi SHINKAI
