Patent number: 10060515Abstract: A linear drive, which has an output slide, which is guided on a drive housing in a linearly movable manner. The output slide contains a one-piece slide body, which is designed as a bent sheet-metal part. The slide body includes a plate-shaped central segment, guide limbs, which are arranged alongside the plate-shaped central segment and bent downward, and a drive limb, which is arranged at an end face and which likewise is bent downward. The guide limbs are used to linearly guide the output slide, and the drive limb is used for the application of the driving forces that cause the reciprocating motion of the output slide.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: FESTO AG & CO. KGInventors: Simone Kopp, Ulrich Diener, Eric Angue

Patent number: 7290477Abstract: A linear drive has a drive housing and a carriage guide for relative motion in the direction of a principal axis. The carriage possesses a row of openings on it with several first carriage openings, whereas the drive housing has a row of openings on the housing side with mutually spaced first housing openings. Given suitable positioning of the carriage it is possible for attachment screws to be inserted right through the first carriage openings and inserted into the first housing openings. Second carriage openings belonging in addition to the row of openings on the carriage side are designed in the form of threaded openings, which render possible screwing in of attachment screws, that are inserted in the first housing openings of a further similar linear drive directly fitted to the carriage in a piggy-back fashion, through the first carriage openings thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Festo AG & Co.Inventors: Eric Angué, Simone Kopp, Ulrich Diener

Patent number: 7225722Abstract: A linear drive has a drive housing on which a carriage is able to run. For guiding the carriage two guide units are provided, which jointly lie in a guide plane extending perpendicularly to the upright axis of the drive housing. The guide units flank the carriage on the longitudinal side, the guide plane being arranged offset in the direction of the upright axis in relation to a drive space formed in the drive housing, drive means for the carriage being located in the drive space. At an edge section on the longitudinal side the carriage overlaps at least a part of the drive space.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Festo AG & Co.Inventors: Eric Angué, Simone Kopp

Patent number: 6505542Abstract: A piston rod-less linear drive whose housing is provided with a linear guide on which a guide slide runs. The guide slide is drivingly connected by way of a dog with a drive part within the housing. The dog extends through a longitudinal slot in the housing, such slot being so arranged that its plane extends obliquely in relation to a guide plane, which is defined by the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of the linear guide. Furthermore, a housing is proposed which is particularly suitable for the linear drive.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2001Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Festo AG & Co.Inventors: Rolf Weberruss, Eric Angué, Thomas Wagner

Patent number: 5568982Abstract: A linear drive, on which housing a longitudinally moving output drive part is provided. In the possible path of motion thereof a limiting device is arranged, with which the end or terminal position of the output drive part may be preset. The limiting device comprises at least one holder with an abutment-shock absorber unit. Along the housing a plurality of positioning points is provided, at which support element may be fixed in place, which render possible an interlocking or positive mounting of the holder. The abutment-shock absorber unit is able to be steplessly set in position in relation to the holder. It is in this manner that an exact and reliable adjustment of the path of travel of the output drive part may be undertaken.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1995Date of Patent: October 29, 1996Assignee: Festo KGInventors: Kurt Stoll, Albrecht Wagner, Eric Angue
