A throttle device for an internal-combustion engine, in which, on one surface
of
a throttle body side wall is formed a mounting space for mounting a reduction gear
mechanism which transmits the power of a motor to a throttle valve shaft; and a
throttle sensor for detecting the throttle valve opening is built inside of the
gear cover covering the mounting space, and is covered with a sensor cover. A shaft
hole of a rotor of the throttle sensor is exposed out through the sensor cover.
When the gear cover is attached to the side wall of the throttle body, one end
of the throttle valve shaft fits in the rotor shaft hole by elastically deforming
a fitting spring inserted in the shaft hole, thereby enabling downsizing, weight
reduction, and simplification of assembly and wiring harness of the electronically
controlled throttle device, and realization of stabilized operation and improved
accuracy of the throttle sensor.
