Abstract

Disclosed is a step actuator. The step actuator includes a housing; a stator installed in the housing; a rotor positioned radially inward from the stator, the rotor rotating and protruding from one side of the housing; a bearing installed at one side of the housing so as to be coupled with the rotor; a bearing cover coupled with one side of the housing to restrain movement of the bearing; a screw member coupled with the rotor to linearly move according to rotation of the rotor; and a mounting member coupled to the bearing cover to support the screw member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A step actuator comprising:
a housing structure including a first housing and a second housing;
a stator disposed in the housing structure, wherein the stator includes a first bobbin and a second bobbin;
a bearing cover coupled with one side of the housing structure,
a bearing disposed between the housing structure and the bearing cover; and
a mounting member coupled to the bearing cover,
wherein the bearing cover includes a coupling section protruded radially inward from the bearing cover and contacted with the bearing,
wherein the bearing cover includes a coupling rim having a ring shape and coupled to the one side of the housing structure,
wherein the second housing includes a rim section contacted with the coupling rim of the bearing cover,
wherein the bearing cover comprises a coupling pipe extended from an inner peripheral surface of the coupling rim,
wherein an inner circumferential surface of the coupling pipe makes contact with an outer race of the bearing,
wherein the bearing cover comprises a locking rim protruded radially inward from an end of the coupling pipe, and
wherein the locking rim makes contact with the outer race of the bearing.

2. The step actuator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling section faces the locking rim while interposing the bearing therebetween.

3. The step actuator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting member comprises a locking member and a locking protrusion.

4. The step actuator as claimed claim 1 , wherein the bearing cover includes a support member extended from an outer peripheral portion of the coupling rim and a stopper protrusion extended radially outward from the support member.

5. The step actuator as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the mounting member comprises a locking member and a locking protrusion.

6. The step actuator as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bearing cover includes a support member extended from an outer peripheral portion of the coupling rim and a stopper protrusion extended radially outward from the support member.
