A valve driving device (10), that converts rotational motion outputted
from a valve-driving source to linear motion through cam mechanisms (13)
provided to respective cylinders (2) and drives valves (3) in respective
cylinders through the linear motion, the valve driving device is equipped
with electric motors (11, 12) that are shared as the valve-driving source
in a group of cylinders comprising a plurality of cylinders in which
open-valve periods of the valves do not overlap; and motion-transmission
mechanisms (14, 15) that transmit rotational motion of the electric
motors (11, 12) to cams (16) in respective cam mechanisms (13) in the
group of cylinders.
