  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view showing a valve groove of an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a valve groove 160 may be formed on a side of the housing 110 and a sleeve 311 allowing a spool 310 of the valve 300 to slide may be formed on a side of the housing 110 which close to the valve groove 160.
  • a spool stage 325 of the valve 300 is integrated with the housing 110 and a hydraulic amplifying part 320 is disposed in the valve groove 160, thereby completing the valve 300.
  • Hydraulic lines A and B that communicate with the chambers for receiving hydraulic oil communicate with the sleeve 311 and may communicate with the input port 330 and the output port 340 that are passages for hydraulic oil flowing inside/outside.
  • the spool 310 inserted inside of the sleeve 311 is configured to enable linear motion. At this time, the sleeve 311 and the spool 310 is inserted to the stator vane 101 in the axial direction of the actuator. When configured in this way it becomes easy to process the holes for the insertion sleeve 311. Since also rigidly coupled to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil through the hole in the axial direction when the housing 110 and the housing cap 120 is fastened it is possible to prevent a pressure loss.
  • the sleeve 311 can be coupled to the A port and the B port and the input port 330 and output port connected to the flow path 340 formed in the housing cap 120 is formed in the housing 110.
  • the A port is formed through the one surface of the stator vane 101 which is configured to supply the hydraulic oil to one of the chambers
  • the B port is formed in the opposite surface to the surface formed A port to be capable of supplying the hydraulic oil to the other chamber.
  • the hydraulic amplifying part 320 is inserted from the outside of the housing 110, the feedback spring is inserted into the sleeve 311 which is configured to drive the spool 310. Finally spool stage 325 and a hydraulic amplifying part 320 is coupled and into a valve 300, to the hydraulic amplifying part 320 is inserted into the housing 110, so it is possible to minimize the projecting part.
  • Integrated hydraulic rotary actuator described above has the necessary components for controlling the actuator can be fabricated as small without projecting part without being exposed to the outside of the wiring without being exposed to the outside.
  • wires are invisibly disposed inside the rotary actuator so that prevent interference of the other structure during operation and can be configured compact.
  • the hydraulic line is provided at the one side of the housing, it can reduce the interference and improve the freedom of design.
