Abstract: To provide a wire-wound resistor provided with high reliability and that retains the basic functionality of the wire-wound resistor, and a method for manufacturing the same. A wire-wound resistor in which a resistor wire is wound onto an external periphery of a core (11) obtained by bundling fibrous insulators, and a connection terminal (13) is attached to both ends of the core (11) and connected to the resistor wire (12a), wherein the core (11) is impregnated with a binder in the portion (11a) in the vicinity of the external periphery. The binder (1) is preferably not included in a center portion (11b) of the core (11).

Abstract: While a laser-beam application position is moved along a locus which circularly or elliptically circles around a locus center so as to cross a weld line that is a boundary between a first metal plate and a second metal plate overlapped with each other, the locus center is moved in a direction parallel to a weld line. A moving direction of the laser-beam application position is set such that the laser beam is first applied to the first metal plate and then to the second metal plate when the laser beam passes through an unmelted zone of the first metal plate and the second metal plate. The unmelted zone is located downstream of a range through which the laser beam has already passed in the direction parallel to the weld line.

Abstract: There is provided an electric actuator in which a speed reduction mechanism and an output portion are disposed adjacent to each other in a radial direction in an opening portion of a housing main body, a cover member has a speed reduction mechanism cover which faces and surrounds the speed reduction mechanism, an output portion cover which faces and surrounds the output portion, and a constricted portion which connects the speed reduction mechanism cover and the output portion cover, the cover member is fixed to the housing main body by a plurality of caulking portions provided on a side wall portion, and, between two adjacent caulking portions interposing the constricted portion therebetween, one of the two caulking portions of the speed reduction mechanism cover is fixed toward a central axis of the speed reduction mechanism, and the other is fixed toward a central axis of the output portion.

Abstract: There is provided a breather structure of an actuator in which the breather structure is provided in a housing of the actuator, the breather structure including: a recessed groove positioned on an outer surface of the housing; a breathing hole which is positioned on a bottom surface of the recessed groove and passes through the housing in a first direction; a filter fixed to an inside of the housing so that the filter closes an opening of the breathing hole; a lid body which partially covers a region of the recessed groove including the breathing hole from an outside of the housing when viewed from the first direction; a breather opening portion positioned at a portion of the recessed groove exposed from the lid body; and a protrusion portion which protrudes from the bottom surface of the recessed groove to a side of the lid body.

Abstract: An actuator apparatus includes an oil passage body including an oil passage therein, an electric actuator, a movable unit moved at least in a first direction and a second direction by the electric actuator, and an auxiliary device including an actuating member moved by hydraulic pressure of oil in the oil passage. When the electric actuator moves the movable unit in the second direction, the auxiliary device applies, through the actuating member to the movable unit, a force pointing in a direction that moves the movable unit in the second direction.
