  • Patent number: 11578523
    Abstract: A module for a modular, motorized drive system, in particular for doors, wherein the modular system is designed such that a number of modules arranged linearly one behind the other along a longitudinal axis of the modular system form a functional group of the drive system is provided. The modular system includes at least one of a number of latching elements on a front side of the module orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and a number of receiving elements, which are complementary to the latching elements, on a rear side of the module orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and opposite the front side, wherein the receiving elements are designed to form a mechanical connection to the latching elements of a further module which is arranged with its front side parallel to the rear side of the module.

  • Patent number: 10295012
    Abstract: A spindle drive for motor-actuated adjustment of an adjusting element includes a tubular spindle drive housing for a drive unit with a downstream spindle-spindle nut gear unit for generating a linear driving motion. A connection part inserted into one end of the drive housing is connected to an exterior socket via a damping arrangement comprising an elastic damping material. The connection part includes first and second flange-like end portions having confrontingly opposed, spaced apart front sides sandwiching the damping arrangement 4 which is connected to the end portion front sides by vulcanization and/or gluing. The socket is carried on the second end portion remote from the damping arrangement 4.

  • Publication number: 20170155308
    Abstract: A drive device for motor-actuated displacement of a movable component part of a motor vehicle includes: a housing tube in which is arranged a rotary electric motor having a rotor with a radially magnetized permanent magnet; a supporting ring arranged in the housing tube so as to be axially supported at the electric motor; and a sensor arrangement arranged at a determined distance from the electric motor, the sensor arrangement being configured to contactlessly detect rotational movement of the rotor of the electric motor. The sensor arrangement has at least one Hall sensor arranged on a carrier board, the carrier board being supported by the supporting ring so as to be axially supported at the electric motor. The supporting ring is connected to the electric motor by positive engagement and/or frictional engagement.
