  • Patent number: 7900530
    Abstract: A drive device for a hatch of a motor vehicle, wherein a spindle drive is provided with a threaded spindle and a spindle nut mounted on the threaded spindle, by which drive the first fastening element and the housing tube can be driven axially relative to each other. The spindle drive can be rotatably driven by an electric motor, where the output shaft of the motor can rotate the threaded spindle or a connecting component of a clutch. The spindle drive can be rotatably driven by two or more series-connected electric motors.

  • Publication number: 20080216409
    Abstract: A drive device for a motor vehicle, including a first fastening element connectable to one of a stationary component and a movable component of the motor vehicle; a housing tube comprising a first end facing away from the first fastening element, and a second fastening element on the first end, the second fastening element being connectable to the other of a stationary component and a movable component of the motor vehicle; a spindle drive comprising a threaded spindle; and a spindle nut mounted on the threaded spindle; and an electric motor for driving the threaded spindle in rotation. The spindle drive is configured to move the first fastening element and the housing tube away from each other in an axial movement. When energized the electric motor drives the threaded spindle in rotation with a torque which decreases over the course of the axial movement.

    Abstract: A drive device for a hatch of a motor vehicle, wherein a spindle drive is provided with a threaded spindle and a spindle nut mounted on the threaded spindle, by which drive the first fastening element and the housing tube can be driven axially relative to each other. The spindle drive can be rotatably driven by an electric motor, where the output shaft of the motor can rotate the threaded spindle or a connecting component of a clutch. The electric motor is located in the housing tube. On the inside wall of the housing tube, two or more radially oriented field magnets, which are distributed uniformly around the circumference, are provided to form a stator, where these magnets surround a coaxial, rotatably supported rotor shaft, on which coils are provided to form a rotor.
