  • Publication number: 20110192090
    Abstract: A locking device for locking a leaf of a leaf installation has first and second locking elements with respective first and latching elements. The second latching element is located at an end facing the first latching element and capable of a latching operative engagement with the first latching element. The second locking element is stationarily disposed relative to the leaf installation. The first locking element is disposed with regard to the leaf to move correspondingly to a movement of the leaf, so that the first locking element is moved translationally into a locking position towards the second locking element and away from the second locking element into an unlocking position. One of the locking elements has an activating element operable to allow for the latching operative engagement between the latching elements in a blocking position and to prevent the latching operative engagement in a release position.

  • Publication number: 20110190940
    Abstract: The invention relates to linear drives (1), which are based on linear motors, for panels, in particular sliding doors, movable along a respective travel path. An inventive linear drive (1) for at least one panel, in particular a sliding door leaf (4), movable along a travel path, has at least one linear motor for this at least one panel. The linear motor is to provided with a stator member (3) and a carriage (2). Furthermore, the linear drive (2) has a control circuit. The control circuit is adapted to stop the linear motor in the event of failure of power supply to the linear motor, by means of switching-off the linear motor and operating it as a generator. Thereupon, in terms of its displaceability, this movable panel is enabled by the control circuit. In addition, the inventive linear drive (1) has switching means for switching-off the energy supply to the at least one linear motor.

  • Publication number: 20110062901
    Abstract: A linear motor is disclosed, which has a stator and at least one rotor, the stator having at least two stator modules. Each stator module has a coil arrangement and, seen in longitudinal extension of the respective stator module, at least at one end, a displacement sensor. Each stator module is disposed along a travel path of the respective rotor in an area of the respective stator module. Each displacement sensor has a detection range, within which it can detect a rotor, as long as the latter is located at least partially in the detection range. Each coil arrangement has an interaction range, within which, in case of energizing, the coil arrangement comes into interaction with the rotor and urges the latter in a driving direction, as long as the rotor is located with at least one portion in the interaction range.
