Abstract:
1. An electric lever device, comprising: an operation lever including a handgrip held by an operator on one end and a rotational center shaft of the operation lever formed on the other end; a detecting unit for detecting a rotation amount of the rotational center shaft; and a holding unit for fixing the operation lever to prevent return, the detecting unit and the holding unit being arranged on a surface perpendicular to an attaching surface of the electric lever device and a surface perpendicular to the rotational center shaft of the operation lever, wherein a detent mechanism is provided between the rotational center shaft and the handgrip, the detent mechanism includes: a pressing mechanism provided on the operation lever for generating pressing force in an axial direction of the rotational center shaft; and a detent guide mechanism that guides a movement of the operation lever to a circumferential direction of the rotational center shaft, and increasing the pressing force in a stepwise fashion by narrowing a guide width in the axial direction of the rotational center shaft in a stepwise fashion in order to apply a load to the movement of the operation lever.
