  • Patent number: 11041557
    Abstract: This speed reducer with an electric motor has: a hollow shaft; a casing fixed to the hollow shaft; a fixed part that is relatively stationary with respect to the casing; an electric motor; a speed reduction mechanism; an output part; and a torque sensor that is connected to the casing and the fixed part. The torque sensor has an elastically deformable strain body that has an annular outer ring and an annular inner ring and a plurality of strain sensors. The outer ring and the inner ring are respectively located at an end portion on the radial outside and the radial inside of the torque sensor and is connected to one of the casing and the fixed part. Each of the plurality of strain sensors is at least partially located in a radial direction between the outer ring and the inner ring.
