## Abstract

A method for arranging a drive unit in a revolving door, the drive unit being arranged at a ceiling element of the revolving door and configured to drive a turnstile of the revolving door, includes: arranging an adapter element at the ceiling element; arranging an electronically commutated multipole motor at an adapter element; and adjusting, by the adapter element, the multipole motor relative to the turnstile of the revolving door.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for arranging a drive unit (10) in a revolving door, wherein the drive unit (10) is arrangable at a ceiling element (11, 16) of the revolving door and configured to drive a turnstile (12) of the revolving door, the method comprising:
arranging an adapter element (13, 22) at the ceiling element (11, 16);
arranging an electronically commutated multipole motor (14) at the adapter element (13, 22); and
adjusting, by the adapter element (13, 22), the multipole motor (14) relative to the turnstile (12) of the revolving door.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising gearlessly connecting the electronically commutated multipole motor (14) to revolving wings (23) of the turnstile (12) of the revolving door.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising pre-mounting, by a pre-fixing portion (15, 24), the multipole motor (14) to the adapter element (13, 22).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the adapter element (13, 22) and the multipole motor (14) are mounted at the ceiling element (11, 16) from a common mounting direction (17), the mounting direction (17) coinciding with the rotational axis (18) of the turnstile (12).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the adapter element (13, 22) has one or more adjusting portions (19), the method further comprising adjusting, by the adjusting portions (19), the drive unit (10) relative to the turnstile (12) of the revolving door.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to one claim 1, further comprising arranging at least one under ceiling element (20) at the adapter element (13).

### Claim 7

A system arranging a drive unit (10) in a revolving door, the revolving door having a ceiling element (11, 16) at which the drive unit (10) is arranged, the drive unit (10) being connected to the ceiling element (11, 16) so as to drive a turnstile (12) of the revolving door, the system comprising:
the drive unit (10), the drive unit (10) having an electronically commutated multipole motor (14) arranged at the ceiling element (11, 16) and gearlessly connected to the turnstile (12); and
an adapter element (13, 22) configured to:
(i) arrange the electronically commutated multipole motor (14) at the ceiling element (11, 16), and
(ii) adjust the multipole motor (14) relative to the turnstile (12) of the revolving door.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system according to claim 7, wherein the adapter element (13, 22) has one or more pre-fixing portions (15, 24) configured to pre-mount the multipole motor (14) to the adapter element (13).

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The system according to claim 7, wherein the adapter element (13, 22) has one or more adjusting portions (19) configured to adjust the drive unit (10) relative to the turnstile (12) of the revolving door.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The system according to claim 7, further comprising at least one under ceiling element (20) arranged at the adapter element (13).

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The system according to claim 7, wherein an illumination device (21) is arranged at the adapter element (13) and/or at the multipole motor (14), the illumination device (21) annularly surrounding the multipole motor (14).
