  • Patent number: 10871225
    Abstract: Electromechanical actuator to operate a component of a vehicle provided with a housing formed by a lower element and a lid; a transmission arranged inside the housing and comprising an output shaft provided with a first symmetry axis and an intermediate shaft, which meshes with the output shaft and is provided with a second symmetry axis transverse to the first symmetry axis; and a pair of electric motors also arranged inside the housing; wherein each of the two electric motors rotates the output shaft through the intermediate shaft and wherein the two electric motors are provided with respective rotation axes parallel to each other and transverse to the first symmetry axis.

  • Publication number: 20200040990
    Abstract: Actuator for automotive applications, comprising a main body that houses a motor, a transmission, a control shaft, kinematically connected to the motor by the transmission. The control shaft extends from a first transmission end, connected to the transmission, to a second operating end operatively connected to a user device. The control shaft is controlled in a reciprocating linear motion along an axial direction (Y-Y) by the transmission which transforms a rotation movement along a drive axis (X-X) of the motor into a translation movement of the control shaft along said axial direction (Y-Y). The motor and the control shaft are oriented so that the drive axis (X-X) and the axial direction (Y-Y) are perpendicular or parallel and spaced apart from each other.
