Abstract: Construction of a friction roller reducer is achieved wherein displacement of intermediate rollers due to the change in thickness in the axial direction of loading cam apparatuses can be performed smoothly, and excellent transmission efficiency can be obtained. Long guide holes that are long in the radial direction of a sun roller and ring-shaped roller are provided in guide blocks that are fastened to a support frame for supporting the end sections of rotation shafts of intermediate rollers. The outer rings of ball bearings, of which the inner rings are fitted around and fastened to the outside of the end sections of the rotation shafts, engage with the long guide holes so as to be able to displace in the radial direction of the sun roller and the ring-shaped roller.

Abstract: There is provided an in-wheel motor that can reduce the loss of energy. An electric vehicle driving device includes a first motor, a second motor, a speed change mechanism, a speed reducing mechanism, and a clutch device. A first planetary gear mechanism of the speed change mechanism is a single-pinion type planetary gear device. A second planetary gear mechanism of the speed change mechanism is a double-pinion type planetary gear device. The electric vehicle driving device operates so as to switch a first speed change state where the magnitudes of rotational forces of the first motor and the second motor are equal to each other and the directions of the rotational forces are opposite to each other, and a second speed change state where the rotational forces have the same magnitude and direction.

Abstract: There are provided a hub bearing, a speed reduction mechanism, and an in-wheel motor, including an inner race portion which is fixed to a support mechanism, an outer race portion which is connected to a wheel, and a rolling element which is disposed between the inner race portion and the outer race portion, and the outer race portion includes an outer race member, a wheel flange, and a fixation mechanism. The end surface of the wheel flange away from the outer race member in a direction parallel to a rotation shaft extends to the rotation shaft in relation to the inner race portion in the radial direction of the rotation shaft.
