Abstract
A housing for a transmission, in particular an actuator housing. The housing having a housing wall and ribs that protrude from the housing wall to the outside and/or inside. The protruding ribs are at least partially arranged such that they form a honeycomb-shaped structure on the housing wall.
Claims12
A housing for an actuator, the housing comprising:
- a tubular housing wall which defines a longitudinal axis of the housing;
- a plurality of ribs protruding radially outward from the tubular housing wall, and the plurality of ribs forming a plurality of hexagonally shaped honeycombs;
- a threaded spindle disposed within the tubular housing wall, and the threaded spindle is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis and linearly displaceable relative to the housing;
- and
- each of opposed axial ends of the housing includes a respective screw attachment eye extending radially outward from the housing.

A housing for an actuator, the housing comprising:
- a tubular housing wall which defines a longitudinal axis of the housing;
- a plurality of ribs that laterally protrude from the tubular housing wall and form a plurality of hexagonally shaped honeycombs, and each of the plurality of hexagonally shaped honeycombs defines a respective honeycomb symmetry axis;
- the plurality of ribs extend from the tubular housing wall such that the plurality of hexagonally shaped honeycombs extend perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing, and the respective honeycomb symmetry axes are parallel to each other;
- from lateral points of view perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, each of the plurality of hexagonally shaped honeycombs is symmetric about the respective honeycomb symmetry axis thereof;
- and
- each of the plurality of ribs transitions into another one of the plurality of ribs with a rounding of a radius of 3°.
