20110276231 | STEER-BY-WIRE STEERING DEVICE - A steer-by-wire steering device, in which when a turning motor fails, a toe angle adjusting motor is converted into a drive source for steering the wheel, is provided. A steering wheel not mechanically coupled with a steering axle; a steering angle sensor; a steering reactive force motor; and a steering control unit are provided therein. In addition to a turning power transmitting mechanism for transmitting power from a turning motor to the steering axle, the use is made of a toe angle adjusting power transmitting mechanism for transmitting power from a toe angle adjusting motor to the steering axle. When the turning motor fails, a switching unit for disconnecting the turning motor from the turning power transmitting mechanism, locking of the toe angle adjusting power transmitting mechanism and turning the wheel using the toe angle adjusting motor is interposed between those transmitting mechanisms. | 11-10-2011 |

20140262634 | ELECTRIC LINEAR MOTION ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM - An electric linear motion actuator is provided which can set the clearance during normal braking operation of an electric brake system. The linear motion actuator includes a load sensor for detecting the magnitude of the load with which a friction pad is pressed against the brake disk, a temperature sensor for compensating for the influence of temperature on the load sensor, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is adapted to calculate a target rotational angle from the position of the electric motor corresponding to the magnitude of the load detected by the load sensor to the position of the electric motor where the clearance is at a predetermined value, and control the electric motor to rotate the electric motor by the target rotational angle. | 09-18-2014 |
20140283635 | MAGNETIC LOAD SENSOR UNIT FOR USE IN A LINEAR MOTION ACTUATOR, AND LINEAR MOTION ACTUATOR - A magnetic load sensor unit for use in a linear motion actuator is provided which is less likely to suffer from hysteresis errors during use while being mounted in the linear motion actuator, and which can reduce the axial length of the linear motion actuator. The magnetic load sensor unit is configured to detect the magnitude of an axial load applied to an object from the linear motion actuator. The sensor unit includes a flange member configured to be deflected when a reaction force to the axial load is received through a thrust bearing, a magnetic target which generates magnetic fields; and a magnetic sensor arranged such that its position relative to the magnetic target changes when the flange member is deflected. The flange member has an axial end surface in which a groove is formed with which rolling elements of the thrust bearing are in rolling contact. | 09-25-2014 |
20140290402 | ELECTRIC LINEAR MOTION ACTUATOR - An electric linear motion actuator capable of accurately controlling the axial position of an outer ring member is provided. A plurality of planetary rollers are kept in rolling contact with the cylindrical surface formed on the outer periphery of a rotary shaft. Helical ribs formed on the inner periphery of the outer ring member are engaged in circumferential grooves formed on the outer periphery of each of the planetary rollers. A carrier retains the plurality of planetary rollers. A revolution sensor detects the rotation angle of the carrier. | 10-02-2014 |
