Abstract

Provided is an electrically powered linear actuator, which averts ball screw lock up, is inexpensive and has excellent rotation performance. An output gear (5) configuring a deceleration mechanism (6) is fixed to a nut (18). Support bearings (20, 20) are disposed on both sides of the output gear (5) and the pair of support bearings (20, 20) are configured from a pair of roller bearings of the same specifications that can bear both thrust loads from the drive shaft (7) and radial loads applied through the output gear (5). The support bearings are installed in a housing (2a) via a washer (27), which is obtained from a ring-shaped elastic member. The internal diameter (D) of the washer (27) is formed to be larger than the external diameter (d) of the inner ring of the support bearing (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electric linear actuator provided with a ball screw mechanism used in driving parts of motors and automobiles in general industries, and more particularly relates to a method for converting rotational motion from an electric motor via a ball screw mechanism. An electric linear actuator used in a reducer or parking brake for the linear motion of a drive shaft. Background technique [0002] In electric linear actuators of various driving parts, a gear mechanism such as a trapezoidal screw worm mechanism or a rack and pinion mechanism is generally used as a mechanism for converting the rotational motion of an electric motor into an axial linear motion . These motion conversion mechanisms include sliding contact parts, and thus power loss increases, thus necessitating an increase in electric motor size and energy consumption. Therefore, the ball screw mechanism is widely adopted as a more efficient actuator. [0003] ...
