  • Device for feeding an actuating drive that can be driven wirelessly
    Patent number: 7402972
    Abstract: An actuating drive (60), that can be fed by a battery (6), for an actuator (5) comprises a drive unit (61) for operating the actuator (5), and a control unit (62), capable of communicating with an external station (70) in a wireless fashion, for controlling the drive unit (61). The control unit (62) can be fed via a voltage regulator (64) connected to the battery (6), while the drive unit (61) is directly connected to the output voltage (UB) of the battery (6). The energy consumption of the actuating drive (60) can be optimized in order to achieve a long service life for the battery.
