Claims16
An actuator for use in a motor vehicle door actuator, the actuator comprising:
- a drive that operates either manually or by an electric motor;
- a flexible drive means, which is connected to the drive and on which the drive can act;
- and
- an actuating member that is driven by the drive means, wherein the actuating member comprises a sliding door, wherein the drive means is attached to the sliding door, wherein the drive is configured to move the sliding door from a first position to a second position by winding a portion of the drive means at a cable drum to pull the sliding door towards the drive, and wherein the drive means is predominantly made of plastics material,
- wherein the drive means is formed as a composite structure of plastics material fibers combined to form multiple plastics material threads, wherein the multiple plastics material threads are twisted together to form a plastics material cable.
