  • Electromotive drive unit
    Publication number: 20030052626
    Abstract: An electromotive drive unit for an adjustable structure, for example a tabletop of a piece of furniture, includes at least one drive motor for adjusting a position of a structure. The drive motor includes a measuring unit for direct or indirect measurement of drive-specific parameters. A control unit is provided for controlling operation of the drive motor, and is acted upon by an evaluation unit for intervention in the adjustment process for the structure, when an actual value of the drive-specific parameters deviates from a desired value.
