Abstract: The invention relates to an electromotive linear drive (10) for adjustable components of furniture. The electromotive linear drive is constructed in such a manner that the full function is guaranteed, for the smallest possible dimensions and for the smallest possible number of components. According to the invention, the output element of the rotation speed reduction gear (27, 28), is a toothed wheel or worm wheel (28) provided with a centrically inner threaded bore. The actuator is an adjusting spindle (29) which is in contact with the toothed wheel or the worm wheel (28) and prevented form rotating and can only move in the spindle's longitudinal direction. The housing (11) has recesses which are covered by a closing element (16), with an axis of the furniture arranged in the recesses. The inventive electromotive linear drive (10) is particularly suitable for the adjustable elements of a slatted frame.
