Abstract
A robot includes an arm, a driving source including a turning output shaft and configured to generate a driving force for turning the arm, an output member configured to turn together with the output shaft, and a braking mechanism including a friction plate configured to turn together with the output shaft and moving in an axial direction of the output shaft, the braking mechanism braking the turning of the output shaft.
Claims6
A robot comprising:
- an arm;
- a driving source including a turning output shaft and configured to generate a driving force for turning the arm;
- an output member configured to turn together with the output shaft;
- and
- a braking mechanism including a friction plate configured to turn together with the output shaft and moving in an axial direction of the output shaft, the braking mechanism braking the turning of the output shaft, wherein
- the output member includes:
- a supporter configured to support the friction plate movably in the axial direction of the output shaft and restrict the turning of the friction plate with respect to the output member;
- and
- a pulley configured to transmit the driving force,
- the supporter configured to engage with the friction plate in a direction around an axis of the output shaft, the turning of the friction plate with respect to the output member being restricted by the engagement of the supporter with the friction plate, and
- the pulley and the supporter are integrally formed.
