Abstract
An actuating device for moving an actuator that features an actuating drive for generating an actuating movement for the actuator. The actuating device also includes a transmission device for transmitting the actuating movement from the actuating drive to the actuator. It also features a sensor device for detecting the actuating position of the actuator. The sensor device features a signal receiver and transducer. The signal receiver will be in the actuating drive and the transducer configured as part of the transmission device.
Claims7
An actuating device for moving an actuator comprising:
- an actuating drive for generating an actuating movement of the actuator;
- a mechanical and non-electronic transmission device in mechanical connection with the actuator for mechanically transmitting the actuating movement from the actuating drive to the actuator;
- a sensor device for detecting the actuating position of the actuator, said sensor device including a signal receiver and a transducer for transmitting a signal communicating with the signal receiver to determine relative positions thereof;
- wherein the sensor device is configured for at least one of the following signal communication types between the transducer and signal receiver:
- magnetic interaction, induction, optical interaction, resistive interaction, and mechanical interaction, wherein the sensor device is configured to evaluate the actuating position of the actuator quantitatively;
- wherein the signal receiver is positioned in the actuating device and the transducer is arranged on the transmission device.
