ABSTRACT:
A rotary actuator for imparting a rotational force to a rotary valve member of a multi-way valve device has a cylindrical housing and an electric motor housed therein and being operative to produce a torque corresponding to the input current supplied to the motor. The motor shaft is hollow and rotatably journalled by the end walls of the motor housing. A torsion bar is housed in the shaft and fixed at one end to one end of the shaft. The other end of the torsion bar is fixed to the housing so that, when rotational force is imparted by the motor to the shaft and thus the rotary valve member connected thereto, the torsion bar produces a return force applied to the shaft. The angular position of the other end of the torsion bar about the axis thereof is adjustable within a limited range. The actuator is suited to impart a rotational motion of less than 180.degree. and provides a reduced hysteresis in the rotation characteristics.
