Engine throttle device

Abstract

An engine throttle device 1 includes: a throttle shaft 4 supporting a throttle valve 7 inside a throttle bore of a throttle body 2 such that the throttle valve 7 is able to be opened and closed; and a gear case 18 fixed to a side portion of the throttle body 2 and accommodating gear trains, causes one end of the throttle shaft 4 to project into the gear case 18 via shaft holes 20 and 21, and drives the throttle shaft 4 via the gear trains 22, 26, and 29. The throttle device 1 further includes: an annular fitting portion 42 formed to be adjacent to the shaft hole 21; a bearing 6 having an outer ring 6b fitted to the annular fitting portion 42 and an inner ring 6a fitted to the throttle shaft 4, and rotatably supporting the throttle shaft 4; a positioning ring 45 press-fitted into the annular fitting portion 42 and abutting the outer ring 6b to restrict displacement of the outer ring 6b along an axis C of the throttle shaft 4; and a fixing nut 39 screwed onto one end of the throttle shaft 4 inside the gear case 18 and abutting the inner ring 6a on one end side to restrict displacement.
