Abstract
Abstract In the electric actuator of the present invention, the power converting mechanism is provided for converting the rotary power of the motor into linear power of the driven member, which needs no special component part. Therefore, in comparison with the prior art power converting mechanism, it is advantage in that the scale of speed reduction and the stroke can be freely determined, with remarkably reduced number of parts and in low cost. The electric actuator according to the present invention is also provided with the improved clutch device employing the engagement of the weight and the recessed portion for secure transmission of the rotary power of the motor, resulting in full utilization of the capacity of the motor in simplified structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
An electric actuator provided with a power converting mechanism which comprises: a motor provided with an output shaft; a centrifugal clutch including a centrifugal clutch driving section connected to the output shaft, and a centrifugal clutch driven section having an internal peripheral surface concentric with said driving section and connectable with said driving section under centrifugal force; a gear which is integral with said driven sections and rotatably supported on the output shaft of said motor; a final drive gear meshing with said gear, a drum member concentric with said final drive gear and provided with a boss portion having an internal thread formed in an inner peripheral surface of a central axial opening; centrifugally actuated clutch means provided between said final drive gear and said drum member; a screw passing through the axial opening of said boss portion and having an external thread formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the external thread is threadly engaged with said internal thread; and a connecting portion at one end of said screw, connected to a driven member, whereby rotary movement of said motor is converted into linear movement of said driven member.
