Abstract
An electronic control device for controlling at least one rotatably arranged actuator includes electronic components, such as a device for the contact-free reception of electrical energy and the contact-free reception of signals, a device for generating magnetic fields, and a common housing that encloses the electronic components and assimilates them. The control device is rotatable and designed for attaching on or into a component rotating around a rotational axis.
Claims20
A combination of an electronic control device and a rotatably arranged actuator, comprising:
- the electronic control device comprising:
- a plurality of electronic components, including devices that provide contact-free reception of electrical energy or control signals, or devices that provide contact-free generation of magnetic fields;
- a common housing, the electronic components assimilated within the common housing;
- wherein the control device is configured and rotatable with the actuator, the common housing configured to attach the control device onto or within a component that rotates around a rotational axis.
