  • Publication number: 20250074258
    Abstract: It is provided an adjustment system for adjusting an interior object in a vehicle interior, comprising at least—an adjustment apparatus for adjusting the interior object by means of external force and—control electronics for controlling the adjustment of the interior object by means of external force during an adjustment process starting from an initial position into a target position of the interior object. The control electronics are further designed to control the adjustment apparatus for the adjustment process in a first adjustment range for a rough adjustment of the interior object and in a subsequent second adjustment range from an intermediate position until the target position is reached for a precise adjustment.

  • Publication number: 20230299653
    Abstract: An actuator includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor that can be rotated relative to the stator about an axis of rotation (D). The stator comprises an inner stator part, a first outer stator part and a second outer stator part, wherein the inner stator part, the first outer stator part and the second outer stator part are aligned with one another along the axis of rotation (D) and the inner stator part forms an arrangement of first inner stator poles on a first side axially facing the first outer stator part, and forms an arrangement of second inner stator poles on a second side axially facing the second outer stator part, wherein the first inner stator poles and the second inner stator poles are integrally connected to one another as a single piece.
