  • Patent number: 10852162
    Abstract: An actuating device including a drive device and a monitoring device. The drive device includes an adjusting assembly which can be moved along a straight movement line and which has an adjusting body and a magnetic adjusting element that can be rotatably mounted on the adjusting body. The monitoring device includes a sensor device which is used to detect at least one position of the magnetic adjusting element along the straight movement line. The monitoring device has a magnetic aligning assembly which is arranged such that the adjusting element assumes a specified rotational position relative to the sensor device on the basis of a magnetic interaction between the adjusting element and the aligning assembly.

  • Patent number: 10838409
    Abstract: A valve control device, which is designed as a valve control head and/or as a valve position regulator head, for controlling a valve drive and/or a fitting. The valve control device includes a control unit for interacting with a functional unit, which is designed as an actuator unit, sensor unit, signal unit and/or communication unit, wherein the control unit has a device driver for interacting with the functional unit, wherein the device driver provides a software interface, which can be addressed by an application program which can be run on the control unit and/or a remote procedure call, in order to effect an interaction with the functional unit.

  • Patent number: 7520208
    Abstract: A drive device comprises a fluid driven drive (2), which defines a drive space (8), in which at least one drive piston (14) is located which is able to be linearly shifted by fluid actuation and is kinematically coupled with an output drive part (17). Furthermore there is a position regulator (3) which is responsible for setting the position of the at least one drive piston (14), such regulator having a electronic regulation circuitry (26) and a valve means (27) and being a component of a regulator cartridge (28) which is inserted as a unitary assembly from the side, which is axially opposite to the drive space (8), through an installation opening into a accommodating space (25) defined by an integral extension of the drive housing (4) made in one piece therewith and axially in sequence with the drive space (8).

  • Patent number: 6786127
    Abstract: A fluid power operate linear drive possessing a slab housing (2) with an elongated cross sectional outline, in which a plurality of receiving spaces (8) are arranged extending in a common housing plane adjacent to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis (3) of the cross section. At one first narrow side (21) of the housing there is a piston receiving space (12) extending in the longitudinal direction containing a piston (13) connected with an outwardly running force output part (16). At the opposite second narrow housing side (22) there is an electronic circuitry receiving space (23) containing electronic valve control circuitry (24). Between the piston receiving space (12) and the electronic circuitry receiving space (23) there is at least one valve receiving space (26), which contains a control valve means (25), which is able to be electronically operated and serves for the control of fluid actuation of the piston (13).
