[0040] In addition, the tilting device 3 in this embodiment has a wide range of applications. It can be used not only by large robotic arms, but also by other automated equipment production lines and other machines that need to be tilted.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] A robotic arm with a tilting device 3 includes a main body, a part to be tilted, and two tilting devices 3 as described in Embodiment 1.
