An electrically operated valve having excellent wear resistance while suppressing cost is provided.
The electrically operated valve comprises a valve main body having a valve seat; a motor including a stator fixed to the valve main body and a rotor driven to rotate with respect to the stator,
a planetary gear type deceleration mechanism configured to decelerate rotation of the rotor to transmit to an output gear, a valve member configured to be movable toward and away from the valve seat in an axial direction, and a feed screw mechanism configured to convert rotational movement of the output gear into movement of the valve member in the axial direction. The planetary gear type deceleration mechanism includes a sun gear coupled to the rotor, a planetary gear engaged with the sun gear, a carrier for rotatably supporting the planetary gear, an annular ring gear engaged with the planetary gear, and a sliding member abutting against an axial end of the sun gear. The output gear has a different number of teeth than the ring gear, and engages with the planetary gear, and the sliding member is made of a different material from the material of the sun gear.
