  • Patent number: 12689266
    Abstract: An electric motor includes an angular position sensor, a housing part, a bearing, e.g., a floating bearing, and a rotor shaft. A bearing seat is provided on the housing part, in which bearing seat the bearing, e.g., the outer ring of the bearing, is received. The inner ring of the bearing is arranged on the rotor shaft and is fixed in the axial direction on the rotor shaft. The angular position sensor includes a first printed circuit board, and a spring element supported on the housing part presses onto the first printed circuit board. At least one tongue region of a part connected to the first printed circuit board bears against the outer ring.

  • Publication number: 20250158490
    Abstract: An electric motor includes an angle sensor, and the angle sensor includes a main body, a hood part, a holding part, a first circuit board, an intermediate flange, a second circuit board, a disk part, e.g., with a dimensional scale, and a hollow shaft. The rotor shaft of the angle sensor is connected to a rotor of the electric motor for conjoint rotation. The disc part is slid onto the hollow shaft and bears against a shaft step and/or a flat surface region of the hollow shaft. The second circuit board has conducting tracks acting and/or formed as coil winding and is held clamped between the main body and the intermediate flange. The intermediate flange is pressed towards the main body by the screw head of another screw screwed into a threaded bore of the main body. The first circuit board is held clamped between the intermediate flange and the holding part.

  • Patent number: 12085425
    Abstract: In a method for detecting the position of a movable part by a sensor which, as sensor signals coding the position, has a first signal and a second signal, the position detected by the sensor is coded by the first and second signal, an actual variable is determined from the sensor signals in a chronologically recurring manner, the determination of a control value is triggered by a trigger signal, the determination of the control value is executed such that the actual variable is regulated toward a target variable.

  • Publication number: 20220373361
    Abstract: A method for detecting the position of a movable part, in particular for detecting the angular position of a rotatably mounted part or for detecting the linear position of a part arranged to be linearly movable, by means of a sensor which, as sensor signals coding the position, has a first signal, in particular a sine signal, and a second signal, in particular a cosine signal, in particular wherein the position detected by the sensor is coded by means of the first and second signal, wherein an actual variable is determined from the sensor signals in a chronologically recurring manner, wherein the determination of a control value, in particular a respective updated control value, is triggered by a trigger signal, in particular a respective trigger signal, in particular by a trigger pulse, wherein the determination of the control value is executed in such a way that the actual variable is regulated toward a target variable, in particular wherein the control value first changes with the respective next determina
