Abstract:
A driver can axially rotate and axially extend and retract a driving target. A driver includes a body, a shaft including a threaded portion, a motor that rotates the shaft, and a hollow cylinder through which the shaft extends, movable in Z-direction, and restricted from rotating relative to the body, a camera module rotatably supported on the hollow cylinder and movable in Z-direction with the hollow cylinder, a coil spring that urges the hollow cylinder in the positive Z-direction, a nut screwed with the threaded portion of the shaft and movable in Z-direction while restricting movement of the hollow cylinder in Z-direction, and a clutch engageable with the nut to restrict movement of the nut in Z-direction and rotatable with the camera module.
