- the motor control unit controls the linear motion motor to advance the bushing in the direction of approaching the screw from the state separated from the screw.
- the motor control section controls the motor for rotary motion to rotate the bush.

- the bush When the rotational torque exceeds the rotational torque threshold, the bush may be continued to advance, and the control process may be terminated when the direct torque exceeds the direct torque threshold. Thereby, the rotation of the bush after the spline fitting can be suppressed.
- the motor control section may start the rotational movement at the position where the forward movement is completed. As a result, it is possible to quickly shift from the forward motion to the rotating motion.
- the motor control section may start the forward movement at the phase when the rotational movement is completed. As a result, it is possible to quickly shift from the rotating motion to the forward motion.
- the screw has a plurality of outer peripheral protrusions (50) formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rear end side of the screw and extending along the front-rear direction at intervals in the peripheral direction of the screw, and the plurality of outer peripheral protrusions is formed with an outer peripheral projection slope (50S) inclined so that the outer peripheral projection width (50W) along the circumferential direction of the screw becomes smaller toward the rear end, and the bush extends in the front-rear direction.

- Each of the inner peripheral protrusions may be formed with an inner peripheral protrusion slope (60S) inclined so that the inner peripheral protrusion width (60W) along the circumferential direction of the through hole becomes smaller toward the front end.
- a second outer peripheral projection slope (50SS) is formed so that the outer diameter of the screw decreases toward the rear end.
- a second inner circumferential projection slope (60SS) may be formed so that the inner diameter of the bush increases toward the end. This reduces the situation in which the rear end face of the outer peripheral protrusion and the front end face of the inner peripheral protrusion come into contact with each other and the bush does not move forward. Therefore, the reliability of the spline fitting can be enhanced compared to the case where the second outer peripheral protrusion slope and the second inner peripheral protrusion slope are not formed.
