Abstract
A turning device (30) includes an electric motor (41), a moving gear (53) configured to move between a first position (P1) at which rotation of an output shaft (43) of the electric motor (41) is able to be transmitted to a rotor (11) and a second position (P2) at which rotation of the output shaft (43) is unable to be transmitted to the rotor (11), a movement mechanism (60) configured to move the moving gear (53) between the first position (P1) and the second position (P2), a torque detection unit (44) configured to detect a torque of the output shaft (43) of the electric motor (41), and a control device (61) configured to control the movement mechanism (60) to move the moving gear (53) from the first position (P1) to the second position (P2) based on the torque detected by the torque detection unit (44).
