Abstract
Disclosed is an actuator for the rotary drive of a vehicle flap. The actuator includes an electric motor, which has a output shaft with a center axis, an output unit, which is in force-transmitting connection with the electric motor in such a manner that activation of the electric motor causes a rotational displacement of the output unit about an axis of rotation of the output unit, and a mounting unit which is configured to support the actuator in force-transmitting connection with a superordinate assembly relative to the drive unit such that, upon activation of the electric motor, a displacement of the drive unit relative to the mounting unit takes place. Also disclosed is a storage apparatus for a vehicle door and a motor vehicle.
Claims18
An actuator for rotationally driving a vehicle flap, the actuator comprising:
- an electric motor which has an output shaft with a central axis about which the output shaft rotates in response to activation of the electric motor, and which is configured to provide a drive force by means of which the vehicle flap can be displaced;
- an output unit which is in force-transmitting connection with the electric motor in such a manner that activation of the electric motor causes a rotational displacement of the output unit about an axis of rotation of the output unit;
- and
- a mounting unit which is configured to support the actuator in force-transmitting connection with a superordinate assembly relative to the output unit, such that, upon activation of the electric motor, a displacement of the output unit relative to the mounting unit takes place,
- wherein the center axis of the output shaft of the electric motor is spaced from and substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the output unit.
