Rotary actuator vibration control mechanism

Abstract

To provide a rotary actuator vibration control mechanism that both reduces vibration during operation and contributes to simplifying the overall structure. In this rotary actuator vibration control mechanism, a continuous shock absorbing member that is integrally formed together with a stopper and an engagement means is laid out in a rotary actuator comprising the following: a case; a rotor that is disposed inside said case and swings back and forth; an output shaft that supports said rotor and outputs the force of the swinging thereof to the outside; the aforementioned stopper, which prescribes the movement path of the rotor inside the case; and the aforementioned engagement means, which engages with an externally attached device disposed outside the case. The shock absorbing member is designed such that the stopper is formed by the molded body that forms the shock absorbing member, and is also designed so as to cover the entire engagement means. The shock absorbing member may be designed such that an integral molded body covers contact parts of both the stopper and the engagement means in a continuous manner, or may be changed to a design in which both are integrally formed by the shock absorbing member.
