Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Linear actuator comprising a housing ( 1 ) consisting of at least two parts ( 1 a , 1 b ) a mounting console ( 2 ) a reversible motor ( 7 ) with a transmission ( 22 ), a spindle ( 5 ) which over the transmission is driven by the motor, a bearing ( 16 ) for embedding the spindle ( 5 ), a spindle nut ( 6 ) secured against rotation on the spindle, an outer tube ( 3 ) which surrounds the spindle, an activation element ( 4 ) telescopically mounted in the outer tube ( 3 ) and connected to the spindle nut ( 6 ), a front mounting ( 8 ) on the outer end of the activation element ( 4 ), a rear mounting ( 9 ) arranged in the housing. In the rear mounting ( 9 ) is a seat for the bearing ( 31 ) of the spindle. The motor ( 7 ), the transmission ( 22 ) and the outer tube ( 3 ) is secured to the console ( 2 ). The mounting console ( 2 ) is constructed as a separate element around which the two parts ( 1 a , 1 b ) of the housing is assembled and the mounting console ( 2 ) constitutes alone the bearing chassis of the actuator. Thus a possibility for a compact actuator with low manufacturing costs together with high performance and quality properties is achieved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A linear actuator which comprises: a housing provided by a front housing part, a rear housing part and a separate mounting console positioned between said front and rear housing parts and to which said front and rear mounting parts are mounted, said mounting console defining an outer peripheral flange at an out periphery of a cross wall that separates interiors of said front and rear parts, said front part defining a front opening in a front wall there…
