  • Publication number: 20260258686
    Abstract: An adjustment arrangement for adjusting an adjustable element of a motor vehicle, which has a motorized or non-motorized drive unit, wherein the drive unit has, as train components, a hollow cylinder and a rod axially guided therein, wherein the adjustment arrangement has a drive spring arrangement with a drive spring, wherein, for guiding the drive spring during operation of the adjustment arrangement, a tubular guide having a circumferential radial guide surface extends outside or inside the drive spring. It is proposed that the circumferential radial guide surface of the tubular guide has a geometry that differs from that of a cylindrical lateral surface, such that the drive spring, during operation of the adjustment arrangement, can only contact the circumferential radial guide surface of the tubular guide in the circumferential direction around the geometric drive axis with individual drive spring circumferential sections.

  • Publication number: 20260168307
    Abstract: A drive for adjusting an adjustable element of a motor vehicle, the drive having a drive train with two drive portions, which can be adjusted relative to one another along a geometric drive axis between a retracted position and an extended position and which comprise a plurality of train components which are coupled to one another to transmit force or torque so as to transmit a force introduced into the drive connections, wherein the drive comprises a feed gear for carrying out in particular linear drive movements along the geometric drive axis, one of the two drive portions having a drive unit with a drive motor, downstream of which the feed gear is arranged, the drive motor having a motor shaft that has a geometric motor shaft axis and transmits a torque generated by the drive motor, and a bearing arrangement with at least one motor shaft bearing.
