Abstract: A housing for an optical element has a first holding surface contact holding a first surface of an optical element and a second holding surface contact holding a ridge line separated from the first surface of the optical element. A first pressing member presses the optical element toward the first holding surface, and a second pressing member presses the optical element toward the second holding surface. An intersection angle obtained by extrapolating and extending the first and second holding surfaces is an acute angle, and a first pressing position at which the first pressing member presses on the optical element is closer to the second holding surface than to a center of the optical element. A second pressing position at which the second pressing member presses on the optical element is farther from the first holding surface than from the center of the optical element.

Abstract: An electric linear motion actuator includes planetary rollers mounted between the radially inner surface of an outer ring member and the radially outer surface of a rotary shaft, and a carrier rotatable about the rotary shaft and including radially movable roller shafts rotatably supporting the respective planetary rollers. Elastic rings each having circumferentially separate ends are each wrapped around the roller shafts to radially inwardly bias the roller shafts, thereby bringing the respective planetary rollers into elastic contact with the radially outer surface of the rotary shaft. Each elastic ring is prevented from rotating relative to the roller shafts, thereby preventing one of the roller shafts from being axially aligned with the gap between the circumferential separate ends, causing the elastic ring to be radially compressed and thus making it impossible for the elastic rings to radially bias the roller shafts.

The freezing preventive power supply unit interrupts the supply of the electric power to the electric motor or the drive source of the lock mechanism when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a second preset temperature T2 that is higher than a first preset temperature T1.

Abstract: A linear motion actuator includes an outer ring member mounted in a housing, a rotary shaft rotated by a motor, planetary rollers mounted between the outer ring member and the shaft and supported by a carrier rotatable about the shaft. A helical rib is formed on the inner surface of the outer ring member which is engaged in helical grooves formed in outer surfaces of the planetary rollers. When the shaft rotates, the planetary rollers rotate and revolve, thereby axially moving the outer ring member. Uneven axial loads applied to the planetary rollers from the outer ring member are supported by thrust bearings disposed between the planetary rollers and an inner disk of the carrier. Aligning seats are provided between each opposed pair of the planetary rollers and the thrust bearings such that the contact surfaces of the aligning seats shift relative to each other under the uneven axial loads.

The sensor unit includes a flange member configured to be deflected when a reaction force to the axial load is received through a thrust bearing, a magnetic target which generates magnetic fields; and a magnetic sensor arranged such that its position relative to the magnetic target changes when the flange member is deflected. The flange member has an axial end surface in which a groove is formed with which rolling elements of the thrust bearing are in rolling contact.

Abstract: An electric brake device includes an electric motor, a braking force application mechanism, a lock mechanism, a temperature sensor for measuring an ambient temperature of a vehicle in which the electric brake device is provided, and a freezing preventive power supply unit. The freezing preventive power supply unit initiates the supply of an electric power to the electric motor or a drive source of the lock mechanism in the event that while the braking force application mechanism applies a braking force and the lock mechanism is held in a locked condition, the temperature sensor detects a preset temperature of the electric brake device immediately before freezing.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to improve seal performance in an electric linear motion actuator configured to linearly drive a linear motion member due to the rotation of a rotary shaft. The linear motion member is constituted by a cylindrical member slidably fitted in a housing, and a pressing member coupled to the distal end portion of the cylindrical member so as to close the opening of the distal end of the cylindrical member. The portion of the pressing member coupled to the cylindrical member is located inside of a boot sealing the space between the distal end portion of the housing and the distal end portion of the linear motion member.

Abstract: A linear motion actuator has an output member that can be smoothly moved linearly even when lateral moment acts on the output member. A carrier (6) supporting planetary rollers (7) is axially immovable, while an outer ring member (5), as the output member, is axially slidably fitted in the radially inner surface of a cylindrical portion (1a) of a housing (1), and is rotationally fixed to a driven member through keys (22). Hard plating layers are formed on the radially outer surface of a rotary shaft (4), the radially outer surfaces of the planetary rollers (7), including helical grooves (7a), and the surface of a helical rib member (5b) which is fixed to the radially inner surface of the outer ring member (5) forming a helical rib.

Abstract: An electric linear motion actuator includes: a rotary shaft to be driven by an electric motor; a plurality of planetary rollers kept in rolling contact with a cylindrical surface formed on an outer periphery of the rotary shaft; a carrier which retains the planetary rollers such that the planetary rollers are rotatable about axes thereof while revolving around the rotary shaft, and of which axial movement is restricted; and an outer ring member surrounding the planetary rollers and supported so as to be slidable in an axial direction. Helical ribs are formed on an inner periphery of the outer ring member; and circumferential grooves are formed on an outer periphery of each of the planetary rollers so as to be engaged with the helical ribs. A rotation of the rotary shaft is thus converted to a linear motion of the outer ring member.

Abstract: The electric linear motion actuator includes an electric motor, a drive shaft configured to be rotated by the electric motor, a rotation-to-linear motion converting mechanism configured to convert the rotational motion of the drive shaft to the axial linear motion of an axially movably supported outer ring member, and an electric locking mechanism incorporated in a reduction gear mechanism in which the rotation of a rotor shaft of the electric motor is reduced in speed and transmitted to the drive shaft. When the electric locking mechanism is energized, the power transmission path shifts to the locked state in which power cannot be transmitted, and when the electric locking mechanism is de-energized thereafter, the power transmission path is kept in the locked state. The electric locking mechanism is built in a motor case of the electric motor so that the electric motor and the electric locking mechanism are unitized.

Abstract: An electric linear motion actuator includes planetary rollers mounted between the radially inner surface of an outer ring member and the radially outer surface of a rotary shaft, and a carrier rotatable about the rotary shaft and including radially movable roller shafts rotatably supporting the respective planetary rollers. Elastic rings each having circumferentially separate ends are each wrapped around the roller shafts to radially inwardly bias the roller shafts, thereby bringing the respective planetary rollers into elastic contact with the radially outer surface of the rotary shaft. Each elastic ring is prevented from rotating relative to the roller shafts, thereby preventing one of the roller shafts from being axially aligned with the gap between the circumferential separate ends, causing the elastic ring to be radially compressed and thus making it impossible for the elastic rings to radially bias the roller shafts.
