  • Patent number: 8198780
    Abstract: A stator (10) for an electronically commutated DC motor with a number of stator poles (1) formed as individual parts, consisting of a pole core (25), pole shoes (26) and return sections (27), in which the return sections (27) of the stator poles (1) have intermeshing profiles, on which they lie against each other, so that the return sections form a hollow cylindrical return (35) with each other, in which the pole cores (25) connect to the return sections (27) directed radially inward. The individual stator poles are each provided with an insulation and a winding, and the wound stator poles (1) are held together by a retaining part that does not serve as motor housing. The task of the present invention is to provide a stator for an electrically commutated DC motor, which can be mounted simply and reliably, and which facilitates assembly of the stator in the motor housing.

  • Patent number: 8142321
    Abstract: A control drive, consisting of an electric motor and a planetary gear mechanism flush with the electric motor on the same axis of symmetry, comprising a ring gear, a planet carrier and three planet gears mounted on the planet carrier, the planet gears each having a front surface in the assembly direction in the area of their external teeth and the ring gear in the region of its internal teeth having three angle areas assigned to the planet gears of its end opposite the assembly direction in a defined angle position of the planet carrier to ring gear. The task of the present invention is to ensure that an economical and time-decoupled simple and rapid assembly of the three planet gears in the ring gear is possible without increasing the manufacturing expense on this account, in which only slight changes to existing forms are necessary.

  • Patent number: 7579728
    Abstract: An electric drive for an electric motor. The electric drive is made up of components consisting of a brush holder plate and a bearing plate which are interconnected via at least one snap-on connector with an expandable catch means that is disposed on an external area of an electric motor, a drive motor, or a positioning drive in such a manner that it projects out. The electric drive can be securely mounted and handled in an economical manner without additional components and without complicated manufacturing equipment. This objective is accomplished by the fact that the expandable catch means is protected by a protective device against unintentional expansion of the catch means and thus loosening of the snap-on connector.

  • Patent number: 6650080
    Abstract: An actuating mechanism for setting a manipulatable member in at least two degrees of freedom of movement. The actuating mechanism includes at least one drive motor, whose output shaft is gear-connected to a manipulatable member-driven reduction gear, and includes two potentiometers, which measure the actual position of the manipulatable member and are mounted on a printed circuit board and include resistance paths and wipers and a drive housing. The actuating mechanisms are constructed at least in part modularly and where the function of the potentiometer can be tested before installation into the actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes as few components as possible, can be mounted as easily as possible, and its potentiometer can be mounted easily without play with reference to the manipulatable member and/or the reduction gear.
