Abstract
A turning device includes: a pinion gear having spur teeth that mesh with a wheel gear provided on a rotary shaft; an arm member that rotatably supports the pinion gear; an ON/OFF mechanism that operates the arm member such that the pinion is brought close to the wheel gear, in a meshed position, with respect to the wheel gear and such that the pinion is separated radially outward from the wheel gear, in a retracted position; and a supporting device that supports the pinion in an axial direction of the pinion.
