Problems solved by technology

These motion converting mechanisms involve a plurality of sliding contact parts, so the loss of power increases, which in turn increases the size and power consumption of the electric motor unavoidably.

Abstract

Provided is an electric linear actuator with which operation lock of a ball screw is prevented and high rotational performance is achieved at a low cost. [Solution] A housing (2) comprises a first housing (2a), and a second housing (2b). An electric motor is attached to the first housing (2a). An accommodation hole is formed at the first and second housings (2a, 2b) to accommodate a screw shaft. A deceleration mechanism (6) comprises an input gear (3) which is fixed to a motor shaft, an intermediate gear (4) which is engaged with the input shaft (3), and an output gear (5) which is engaged with the intermediate gear (4), and fixed to a nut (18) as a single unit. The intermediate gear (4) is rotatably supported via a shell-type needle bearing (23) using gear shafts (22) respectively implanted at the first housing (2a) and the second housing (2b). Ring-shaped washers (27, 28) are mounted on both sides of the intermediate gear (4). A width of a gear section of the intermediate gear (4) is configured to be smaller than a face width.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electric actuators equipped with ball screw mechanisms used in electric motors in general industries and in automotive drive trains, etc., and more particularly, the present invention relates to electric actuators used in Lead Screw Mechanism An electric actuator that converts rotational motion from an electric motor into linear motion of a drive shaft. Background technique [0002] In linear electric actuators used in various drive systems, a gear mechanism such as a trapezoidal screw worm gear mechanism or a rack-and-pinion mechanism is generally used as a mechanism for converting a rotational motion of an electric motor into an axial linear motion. These motion conversion mechanisms involve a plurality of sliding contact parts, and thus power loss increases, and consequently increases in size and power consumption of the electric motor are unavoidable. Thus, ball screw mechanisms have been widely adopted as more eff...
