Estimating the term…
An electromagnetic rotating adjuster that has a servomotor with a can-shaped rotor, which is supported by means of a shaft via a first roller bearing and a second roller bearing, in which the disposition of the roller bearings in the one piece housing is inaccessible. For axial fixation of one second roller bearing, a spring washer is disposed in a second bearing opening and the second roller bearing is pressed against it, the outer race of the bearing having a detent groove on its circumference which groove is engaged by resilient detent tongues of a detent ring, supported in an annular groove of the housing. This assures secure fixation of the second roller bearing in the axial direction in a way that both suits the needs of large-scale mass production and is economical. The electromagnetic rotating adjuster may be used in control of the idling air in internal combustion engines. The resilient tongues and washer facilitate removal, as well as installation, of the rotor assembly.
An electromagnetic rotating actuator, for controlling a throttle cross section of a control opening by a throttle device in a line carrying an operating medium of an internal combustion engine, having a one-piece housing and a servomotor, which has both a stator that is stationary relative to the housing and a rotatable rotor, with which said throttle device that opens said control opening to a variable extent is connected, a bearing opening, at least one roller bearing disposed in said bearing opening, for rotatably supporting said rotatable rotor wherein the bearing opening is defined by a radially extending bearing shoulder (44), a spring washer (45) is disposed between the bearing shoulder and the at least one roller bearing 15, 16), to exert a force in an axial direction upon the at least one roller bearing (15, 16), a resilient detent ring (50) including resilient detent tongues including free ends thereon, and at least one roller bearing (15, 16) is engaged by said free ends (51) of said resilient detent tongues (47) secured on a said resilient detent ring (50) which is supported in an annular groove (52) of the housing (19) in such a way that the at least one roller bearing (15, 16) is pressed toward the spring washer (45).
