Flow-rate control valve actuator

A flow-rate control valve 10 a includes: a housing including a valve body configured to regulate an opening degree of a flow channel to be reciprocable, formed therein; a driving force transmission mechanism 31 provided in the housing and including a valve driving shaft driving a valve body, a hollow screw shaft 40 screwed to the valve driving shaft and a rotator 36 configured to rotate the hollow screw shaft 40 ; and a drive mechanism 53 including actuators 54 and 55 with a piston 61 embedded therein, the piston 61 is provided with a lever 66 engaged with engaging sections provided on the rotator 36 , and the rotator 36 is rotated to a constant angle through the lever 66 by reciprocation of the piston 61 to regulate the opening degree of the flow channel by the valve body.
