A motor unit for a sunroof is proposed. The motor unit may include a lower housing, an upper housing, a bush, a worm wheel, a drive shaft, a pinion gear, the washer, and a bottom cover. Particularly, contact between the drive shaft and the bottom cover may be prevented, and the worm wheel may be configured to be in contact with the washer and he bush. Accordingly, different kinds of noise may be prevented from being generated according to opening and closing directions of the sunroof.

A sliding door for a vehicle, which is applicable to a door portion to which a straight rail is difficult to be applied, may include a door rail mounted in a door which is configured to be closed to a vehicle body in a vertical direction of the vehicle; a vehicle body rail mounted in the vehicle body to which the door is configured to be closed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and a moving arm having one end portion which is movably coupled along the door rail in the vertical direction to open or close the door in a transverse of the vehicle body during moving, and the other end portion which is movably coupled along the vehicle body rail in a longitudinal direction to allow the door to be slidingly moved in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body during moving.

A sliding-door drive device includes: a motor; a speed reducing mechanism reducing rotation of the motor; opening and closing cables having respective one ends secured to a sliding door of a vehicle; an opening drum, having the opening cable wound therearound, to be rotated by the motor through the speed reducing mechanism; and a closing drum, having the closing cable wound therearound, to be rotated by the motor through the speed reducing mechanism. Further, rotation axes of the motor, the opening drum, and the closing drum are parallel, and the opening drum and the closing drum are arranged parallel in radial directions thereof.

A cable-operated drive mechanism for a powered motor vehicle sliding closure panel and method of construction of the cable-operated drive mechanism is provided. The cable-operated drive mechanism includes a cable drum mechanism having a first cable drum supported for rotation about a first drum axis and a second cable drum supported for rotation about a second drum axis. A first cable winds and unwinds about the first cable drum in response to rotation of the first cable drum in opposite directions and a second cable unwinds and winds about the second cable drum in response to rotation of the second cable drum in opposite directions. A drive member is operably coupled to at least one of the first cable drum and second cable drum to drive the first and second cable drums in unison with one another.

A drive mechanism control system and method of operation are provided. The system includes a motor for rotating an output shaft about a primary central axis. The system also includes a powered drive mechanism including a rotatable component attached to the output shaft. The system also includes a coil and a target attached to the rotatable component and configured to have a fluctuating inductive coupling with the coil. The system additionally includes an electronic control unit coupled to the coil and configured to generate a magnetic field adjacent to the target using the coil. The electronic control unit senses a variation of the magnetic field due to the fluctuating inductive coupling with the target as the rotatable component is rotated. The electronic control unit is also configured to determine an absolute position of the rotatable component based on sensing the variation of the magnetic field.
