Title:
ELECTRIC DIRECT-ACTING ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC DISC-BRAKE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/053469
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A small, compact electric direct-action actuator that has excellent weight balance and has a lock mechanism capable of locking and unlocking the rotation of the rotor shaft of an electric motor. Via a gear reduction mechanism (13), the rotation of the rotor shaft (12) of said electric motor (11) is transmitted, reduced in speed, to a rotary shaft (10). A helical groove (24) is provided in the outer surface of a planetary roller (23) that revolves while rotating due to contact friction with the rotary shaft (10). Engagement between said helical groove (24) and a helical ridge (6) formed on the inner surface of an outer-ring member (5) moves said outer-ring member (5) in the axial direction. The outer-ring member (5) pushes a movable brake pad (53) of an electric disc brake up against a brake disc (51), thereby applying a braking force to the brake disc (51). A plurality of equally spaced lock holes (41) are formed in an intermediate gear (33) of the gear reduction mechanism (13), and a lock pin (42) moved forward and backward by a linear solenoid (43) is engaged with a lock hole (41), thereby locking the rotation of the rotor shaft (12) of the electric motor (11). The linear solenoid (43) is disposed between the electric motor (11) and a housing (1), minimizing the radial increase in size of the electric motor (11) and housing (1).
