  • Patent number: 8133142
    Abstract: The invention relates to a belt pulley for the output shaft of a gear being driven by an electric motor, with a support for a drive belt at the outer periphery and a receptacle for an axle in the centre, where the receptacle for the axle involves a first region, the profile of which is in such a way noncircular, that between an axle being insertable therein and the belt pulley no slip is possible, and wherein the receptacle for the axle involves a second region including at least one recess apt to allow an elastic part of the axle to snap in a form-fit way when inserted into the belt pulley through the first region. The invention further relates to a gear, to an electric motor, and to an output shaft.

  • Publication number: 20060012257
    Abstract: An additional housing is flanged onto the motor housing of a small electric motor, in particular a motor for the automation of a door, which motor has a flanged-on gear-unit housing, wherein the additional housing is flanged onto the motor housing in the longitudinal direction of the motor and has at least two through-bores which extend parallel to one another and perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the motor, and wherein the ends of the through-bores have flat bearing surfaces which lie perpendicularly to the through-bores.

  • Publication number: 20020117917
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric-motor drive with a gear unit, the transmission ratio of which is in the range between 80:1 and 220:1, and to an automatic door operating device, in particular for swinging doors, with such a drive. A particularly quiet and compact drive, which, when used in an automatic door operating device, is suitable both for right-hand-hung and left-hand-hung doors, is characterised in that the gear unit has two stages, the first stage being designed as a worm gear stage and the second stage being designed as a spur gear stage.

  • Patent number: 4900968
    Abstract: An electrically commutated, collectorless direct-current motor is disclosed whose stator has a self-supporting drum winding and a cylindrical plastic body which is located concentrically with the drum winding in a winding head. The cylindrical plastic body has recesses which contain eyehooks. The ends of the drum winding are connected with the eyehooks, which are welded to a circuit board. The invention makes it possible to automate the connection of the winding ends to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4841186
    Abstract: An electronically commutated, collectorless direct-current motor is disclosed whose stator has a drum winding and an external magnetic yoke surrounding same, and whose rotor consists of a shaft, a multipolar, permanent-magnet body, and an internal magnetic yoke. To reduce the moment of inertia, the internal magnetic yoke has kidney-shaped apertures. The direct-current motor exhibits a good dynamic behavior and is used in data processing equipment.

  • Patent number: 4492908
    Abstract: This invention relates to a circuit arrangement and the associated mechanism for slaving the angles of rotation of the slats of a plurality of centrally controlled sun or window blinds. The driving motor of each blind is provided with current via a corresponding operational amplifier and related circuit. The motor operates the slats to achieve balance between an input control voltage and a voltage depending on the angular position of the slats. An automatic version in which the control voltage is generated by a photoelectric sensor and several circuit variations are shown.
