Abstract
A method of detecting the current phase of the tensioning curve of an electric toggle tensioner, wherein the electric toggle tensioner comprises an electric motor and an evaluation unit. The method comprises at least the following steps: measuring the angle of rotation of the electric motor and the current motor current of the electric motor; evaluating the angle of rotation and the motor current by means of the evaluation unit to obtain an evaluation result; and determining the current phase of the tensioning curve of the electric toggle tensioner based on the evaluation result. An electric toggle tensioner is furthermore described.
