ABSTRACT:
An electric linear actuator includes an output shaft which is non-rotatable but displaceable in an axial direction and which has one end thereof coupled to a driven device; a cylindrical member arranged coaxially with the output shaft and rotatably about the output shaft, and driven by an electric motor for rotation; and a feed screw mechanism arranged between the output shaft and the cylindrical member for converting a rotating motion of the cylindrical member to a linear motion of the output shaft. The feed screw mechanism has a male spiral groove formed in the outer peripheral surface of the output shaft; a nut cylinder secured on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical member and formed with a plurality of circular holes; and a plurality of balls accommodated in the circular holes and engaged with the male spiral groove.
