  • Patent number: 11725675
    Abstract: A fluid actuated linear drive which includes a drive housing and a drive member which is movable relative to the drive housing. The drive force which is necessary for producing the drive movement is provided by a drive fluid which can be fed and discharged through housing channels of the drive housing. The housing channels each with a lateral coupling opening run out at a housing side surface of the drive housing. An L-shaped attachment coupling part which in the position of use is assembled on the drive housing has a coupling limb which is assigned to a housing rear surface and which is provided with two axial coupling openings. The axial coupling openings are in connection with lateral coupling openings via coupling channels. Hence there is the possibility of using the axial coupling openings for the feed and discharge of the drive fluid.

  • Patent number: 11549527
    Abstract: A fluid actuated linear drive includes a drive housing and a drive member which is movable between two stroke end positions. The drive member has a drive unit with a drive piston which divides off two drive chambers from one another, the drive chambers via two housing channels being connected to axial housing coupling openings which are arranged on a housing rear side. A multi-function module is built onto the housing rear side in a position of use and includes components of an external end position setting device for the drive member and is furthermore provided with module block channel systems which communicate with the housing channels and can be used for the feed and discharge of a drive fluid when the multifunction module is built onto the drive housing in the position of use.

  • Patent number: 7834488
    Abstract: The invention proposes an electric linear drive unit with an electric linear motor that is arranged in or on a basic housing. A sensor device arranged in or on the basic housing serves for determining at least one position of a driving element that is driven by the linear motor. Electric lines are routed from a coil system of the linear motor and from the sensor device to a common connecting point on the basic housing through at least one duct that extends within the basic housing, wherein said electric lines extend through the connecting point to a connector that is arranged at the connecting point and contains connecting means for producing a connection with external lines or cables. The connecting point is sealed by means of an insulating casting- or injection-molding compound at least in the region in which the lines extend from the connecting point.
