Furniture system having a linear actuator

A furniture system with a furniture item including an electrically-adjustable component, a control unit and a linear actuator for adjusting a component of the furniture item, the linear actuator including:

• a gear mechanism which includes a hollow element and a first stage configured as a friction wheel stage;
• a motor arranged on a drive side;
• an adjustment member arranged on an output side, wherein the linear actuator is adapted to alter a length of the adjustment member through the motor and the gear mechanism, and wherein the control unit is coupled with the linear actuator and adapted to actuate the linear actuator for adjusting the component;
• a position sensor which is adapted to determine a position of the gear mechanism, wherein the position sensor is adapted to generate a position signal for determining a position of the adjustment member;
• and
• at least one further linear actuator which is adapted and arranged on the furniture item to adjust the component,
• wherein
• the further linear actuator includes a further gear mechanism, a further adjustment member and a further position sensor,
• the further position sensor is adapted to determine a position of the further gear mechanism and to generate a further position signal for determining a position of the further adjustment member based on the determined position of the further gear mechanism, and
• the control unit is adapted to
• actuate the further linear actuator for adjusting the component of the furniture item,
• determine the positions of the adjustment member and of the further adjustment member depending on the position signal and the further position signal, and
• synchronize the positions of the adjustment member and the further adjustment member by actuating the linear actuator and the further linear actuator.
