Actuating drive comprising a guiding element

An actuating drive, comprising

• an electric motor, comprising a rotor rotatably supported on a rotor axle;
• an output gear mechanically coupled to the rotor;
• a transmission comprising a plurality of compound gears configured to mechanically couple the output gear to the rotor, wherein one of the compound gears is rotatably supported on the rotor axle, wherein two of the compound gears are rotatably supported on a transmission axle arranged offset with respect to the rotor axle, and wherein the transmission axle is of greater length than the rotor axle;
• and
• a guiding element comprising a guide configured to radially guide the output gear relative to an output axis, wherein the guiding element includes a first axle receiver configured to receive a distal end of the rotor axle, and a second axle receiver configured to receive a central portion of the transmission axle.

A guiding element for use in an actuating drive, the guiding element comprising:

• a plate-like main body through which an opening extends having a circular cross-section having an inner contact surface at its inner circumference, configured to come into contact with a rotatably supported element of the actuating drive and to radially guide the rotatably supported element relative to a rotation axis;
• a first axle receiver configured to receive a distal end of a rotor axle of the actuating drive;
• and
• a second axle receiver configured to receive a central portion of a transmission axle of the actuating drive.
