Abstract
A reaction force output device includes: a motor that is a drive source that creates a reaction force; a reaction force output shaft that interlocks with an output shaft of the motor to rotate; and an interlocking arm that transmits output torque of the motor which is input to the reaction force output shaft to an operation pedal. A torque limiting mechanism, which limits the transmission of torque that is equal to or greater than a specified value between the reaction force output shaft and the interlocking arm, is interposed between the reaction force output shaft and the interlocking arm.
Claims3
A reaction force output device that outputs a reaction force to an operation pedal, the reaction force output device comprising:
- a motor that is a drive source generating the reaction force;
- a reaction force output shaft configured to interlock with an output shaft of the motor to rotate:
- an interlocking arm configured to transmit output torque of the motor which is input to the reaction force output shaft to the operation pedal;
- and
- a torque limiting mechanism interposed between the reaction force output shaft and the interlocking arm and configured to limit transmission of torque that is equal to or greater than a specified value between the reaction force output shaft and the interlocking arm.
