A telescopic linear actuator includes a rotational drive mechanism specially adapted and assembled within a tubular housing to reduce noise and vibration of the actuator during its operation. The rotational drive mechanism includes an electric motor adapted for low current operation, a gearbox containing a planetary gear axially connected to the motor with a stepped-up gear ratio, and a drive screw member operatively connected to the gearbox to extend longitudinally through the tubular housing. The drive screw is provided with a specially configured threaded surface formed along the screw member having a reduced thread count and associated increased thread pitch to operatively engage and drive a movable piston member through the tubular housing.

A relieving portion is formed between a first external tooth portion and a second external tooth portion in the external teeth of a flexible externally toothed gear of a flat strain wave gearing. The length L1 of the relieving portion in the tooth trace direction is within the range of 0.1 to 0.5 of the tooth width L of the external teeth. The maximum relieving amount t from the tooth top land of an external tooth in the relieving portion is 3.3×10.sup.−4<t/PCD<6.3×10.sup.−4 where the PCT is defined as the pitch circle diameter of the external teeth. The tooth face load distribution of the external tooth in the tooth trace direction can be equalized, and a flat strain wave gearing having a high transmitted-load capacity can be achieved.
