A rotary actuator is used in a shift-by-wire system for a vehicle. The actuator includes a motor, a controller, an upper case, a lower case, a case fastening member, and a board fixing member. The controller controls the motor. The upper case is made from resin and houses the controller. The lower case houses the motor together with the upper case. The case fastening member is made from metal and fastens the upper case and the lower case to each other. The board fixing member fixes a board of the controller to the case fastening member.

A shift device includes: a shift switching member including valley portions corresponding to shift positions; a motor including a rotor and a stator and configured to drive the shift switching member; a first drive system including a first control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; a second drive system provided separately from the first drive system and including a second control unit configured to control a voltage for driving the motor; and a positioning member configured to establish the shift positions in a state in which the positioning member is fitted into any one of the valley portions of the shift switching member. The shift device acquires the shift positions when the motor is driven by the voltage output from one of the first and second drive systems to move the positioning member such that the positioning member continuously passes through the valley portions.
