A bolt head accommodating recess 103 is formed in each of the four corners of the front surface of the lid 95, and a lid fixing bolt through hole 105 is formed in the bottom surface of the bolt head accommodating recess 103. The lid 95 is fixed by passing a lid fixing bolt 107 through the lid fixing bolt through hole 105 and screwing it into the lid fixing female thread portion 91 of the lid fixing member 87.
[0024] A cable outlet through hole 111 is formed in the center of the lid 97. A cable bushing 113 is installed in the cable outlet through hole 111. An intake and exhaust hole 115 is also formed in the lid 97. An intake and exhaust port 117 is installed in the intake and exhaust hole 115. A lid fixing bolt through hole 119 is formed in each of the four corners of the lid 97. The lid 97 is fixed by passing a lid fixing bolt 107 through the lid fixing bolt through hole 119 and screwing it into the lid fixing female thread portion 91 of the lid fixing member 87.
[0025] Further, packings 121 are interposed between the lids 95, 97 and the end faces of the case body 81, respectively.
[0026] Additionally, the upper surfaces of the lids 95, 97 are arranged contiguously with the upper surface of the case body 81, and the side surfaces of the lids 95, 97 are arranged contiguously with the side surfaces of the case body 81. The lower surfaces of the lids 95, 97 protrude from the bottom surface of the case body 81, and can be used as installation legs. The lids 95 and 97 are made of stainless steel.
[0027] As described above, the actuator 3 is housed in the actuator case 1, and the actuator 3 is fixed by passing the actuator fixing screw 125 through the actuator fixing screw through hole 83 of the case body 81 and screwing it into the fixing female thread portion 17 of the housing body 7. Moreover, the rod 33 passes through a rod through-hole 99 in the lid 95 , with the tip side protruding to the outside of the actuator case 1 .
[0028] Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. To accommodate the actuator 3 in the actuator case 1, first accommodate the actuator 3 in the case body 81, and then pass the actuator fixing screw 125 through the actuator fixing screw through hole 83 of the case body 81 and screw it into the fixing female thread portion 17 of the housing body 7 of the actuator 3, thereby fixing the actuator 3 to the case body 81.
[0029] Next, the lid 95 is placed on the front end surface of the case body 81 with a gasket 121 inserted therebetween, and the lid fixing bolt 107 is passed through the lid fixing bolt through hole 105 of the lid 95 and screwed into the lid fixing female thread portion 91 of the lid fixing member 87 installed on the case body 81, thereby fixing the lid 95 to the case body 81. In addition, the lid 97 is placed on the rear end surface of the case body 81 with a gasket 121 inserted therebetween, and the lid fixing bolt 107 is passed through the lid fixing bolt through hole 119 of the lid 97 and screwed into the lid fixing female thread portion 91 of the lid fixing member 87 installed on the case body 81, thereby fixing the lid 97 to the case body 81.
[0030] Next, the effects of the first embodiment will be described.
