  • Patent number: 10840758
    Abstract: A robot drive unit is provided with: a first member and a second member rotated about a axis; a housing fixed to the first member; an output shaft member supported by the housing so as to rotate about the axis and fixed to the second member; a hollow shaft fixed to the output shaft member, and supported by the housing so as to rotate about the axis; and rotating-body sealing members seal a gap between the housing and the output shaft member and a gap between the housing and the hollow shaft, respectively. The hollow shaft is provided with: a shaft body made of a non-ferrous material; and a contact-surface member made of a material having a higher surface hardness than the shaft body and forms a contact surface to be in contact with the corresponding rotating-body sealing member.
