Abstract
The present invention relates to a spindle drive having a first load path which is formed by the spindle and having a second load path which is formed by a torsion bar which is exposed to torsion, which is arranged in the spindle and is connected to it such that a rotary movement is exerted onto the spindle in at least one state of the threaded drive by the torsion bar, with the spindle drive having a sensor unit which is made such that it detects a relative movement between the spindle and the torsion bar.
Claims20
A spindle drive (100) having a first load path formed by a spindle (10) and having a second load path formed by a torsion bar (20) exposed to torsion, arranged in the spindle (10) and connected to the spindle such that a rotational movement is exerted onto the spindle (10) by the torsion bar (20) in at least one state of the spindle drive (100), wherein the spindle drive (100) has a sensor unit (30) configured to detect a relative movement between the spindle (10) and the torsion bar (20).
