  • Patent number: 11365576
    Abstract: An adjustment drive of a motor vehicle, in particular for an electromotively operated tailgate, having an adjustable part. A drive unit has a first drive train and a second drive train. Each drive train has a variable-length actuation part attached to the adjustable part. The actuation part is driven by an electric motor of the respective drive train. The first drive train has at least one sensor for detection of a position of a rotating part, and the second drive train has no more than one sensor for detection of a position of a rotating part. We also describe a drive unit of an adjustment drive of a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20150361711
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for positioning a vehicle door being movable in an opening direction and a closing direction along a travel path between an open position and a closed position. The system includes a plurality of command units and an electric positioning device, the latter moving the vehicle door using a motor. According to the method, through the use of one or more of the command units, at least one opening command and at least one closing command are created and transmitted to the electric positioning device for causing the electric positioning device to move the vehicle door in the respective opening direction or closing direction. Through the use the electric positioning device, the commands are processed upon receipt by virtue of a given set of priority rules, in dependence on the direction of movement of the vehicle door specified by the respective command.
