Speed
reducer (1, 1A, 1B), comprising: a reduction mechanism comprising an internal gear (21, 22, 38) and an external gear (15, 28e2, 34, 36); a
driven element (24, 41) that outputs a slowed rotation due to the reduction mechanism; a fixed element that is fixed against the rotation of the output element (24, 41); and a
main bearing (28, 28B) that supports the attached element and the
driven element (24, 41), wherein the
main bearing (28, 28B) contains an inner ring (28i1, 28i2, 28i1B, 55i1, 55i2) and an outer ring (28o1, 28o2, 55o1, 55o2) formed from a
plate element, and at least the inner ring (28i1, 28i2, 28i1B, 55i1, 55i2) or the outer ring (28o1, 28o2, 55o1, 55o2) is connected to the attached element or the output element (24, 41) separately from the attached element and the output element (24, 41), this inner ring (28i1, 28i2, 28i1B, 55i1, 55i2) or this outer ring (28o1, 28o2, 55o1, 55o2) contains an extension section (28e, 28e2, 55e1, 55e2, 55ep) formed from a
plate element, and the extension section (28e, 28e2, 55e1, 55e2, 55ep) is a further functional component of the Speed
reducer (1, 1A, 1B) forms.
