Abstract: An electric actuator includes an electric motor, a nut, and a screw shaft threadedly inserted through the nut so as to be able to advance and retreat. The threads of the screw shaft include two flanks and a crest portion connecting the two flanks to each other. Grease is used as a lubricant. A groove portion, which is cut out from the crest portion toward a root portion side of the threads and holds grease, is formed on the threads of the screw shaft. Further, a tapered surface is formed at a groove portion side end of at least one of the two flanks, and the tapered surface inclines in a direction away from the groove portion and drags the grease held in the groove portion onto a threadedly engaged portion with the aid of the wedge effect. As a result, the electric actuator can promote lubrication.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shock absorber serving as a cylinder device capable of securing a clearance between an outer tube and a peripheral member and improving bending rigidity of the outer tube. An outer tube 104 housing an inner tube 103 is provided with a pair of knuckle bracket fastening plates 110a and 110b protruding in one direction from an outer surface of the outer tube 104. The pair of knuckle bracket fastening plates 10a and 110b has wide surfaces facing each other, and the wide surfaces are provided along an axial direction of the outer tube 104. When the inside of a vehicle is defined as a virtual region I 192 and the outside of the vehicle is defined as a virtual region II 193 with a virtual line 191, which passes through a stroke center line 71 and matches the inside and outside of the vehicle, as a boundary in an orthogonal cross section at an arbitrary axial position of the outer tube 104 orthogonal to the stroke center line 71 of a piston rod 102, a cross-sectional area Ai1 of the outer tube 104 in the virtual region I 192 is made larger than a cross-sectional area Ao1 of the outer tube 104 in the virtual region II 193.

Abstract: An inverter control device includes: a carrier wave generation unit that generates a carrier wave; a carrier frequency adjustment unit that adjusts a frequency of the carrier wave; and a PWM control unit that performs pulse width modulation on a voltage command using the carrier wave and generates a PWM pulse signal for controlling an operation of an inverter. The carrier frequency adjustment unit determines a phase shift amount for reducing a voltage amplitude of a specific order component among order components of a voltage ripple superimposed on a DC voltage, and adjusts a frequency of the carrier wave so as to change a phase difference between the voltage command and the carrier wave according to the determined phase shift amount.

Abstract: In a rack bar and a steering device using the same, an endmost tooth bottom for reducing a stress exerted on a first forging die during die forging of a rack tooth molding part is formed on the endmost side of a plurality of tooth bottoms. Specifically, the endmost tooth bottom is formed so that a depth thereof is less than a depth of an ordinary tooth bottom by a difference. This reduces an amount of flow of a material of the rack bar during formation of the endmost tooth bottom by an amount commensurate with the difference. As a result, the stress exerted on the first forging die can be reduced, and occurrence of heat checking in the first forging die can be suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention suppresses wear of a rod or a component with which the rod is in contact. An electromagnetic suction valve mechanism (electromagnetic valve mechanism) includes a suction valve (valve body), a rod engaged with the suction valve, and a magnetic attraction force generation unit that generates a magnetic attraction force for moving the rod in an axial direction. The rod is provided with a low friction portion. The low friction portion is set to a friction coefficient such that a frictional force generated between the rod and the rod contact component with which the rod is in contact is smaller than a rotational propulsive force of the rod.

Abstract: An ESC 33 increases distribution of a braking force to rear wheels according to a reduction in a speed of a vehicle due to braking, and distributes the braking force so as to allow the vehicle to be kept stopped due to braking forces applied to the rear wheels when the vehicle stopped. Then, a second ECU holds the braking force by driving a parking mechanism with the vehicle kept stopped due to the braking forces applied to the rear wheels.
