The revolving door assembly (1) comprises a drive unit (6) enclosed within the central column (2), the drive unit (6) comprising a motor (13) for rotating the door panel (3). According to the revolving door assembly, the motor (13) has a central through hole (H1), wherein one or more cables (C1) of a cable configuration (C) are configured to pass through the central through hole (H1).

A household dishwasher includes a washing container having a loading opening, a door, an electrical drive device configured to move the door between a closed position, in which the door closes the loading opening, and an open position, in which the washing container is accessible from outside, and a control unit configured to identify a manual movement of the door performed by an operator in a direction of movement by detecting a characteristic variable of the drive device and to move the door further in the direction of movement via the drive device as a result of the manual movement of the door by the operator.

A drive device has a transmission housing with an external rotor-type electric motor. The electric motor is coupled to the transmission and is actuated by a motor electronic unit. The electric motor has a stator and a rotor which circulates about the stator and is connected to a drive shaft that is guided through a stator bushing with a first sleeve section for holding the stator bushing in the transmission housing in a rotationally fixed manner and with a second sleeve section. A groove frame insulation which surrounds the stator teeth in the axial direction is placed on the second sleeve section. An annular element which is arranged between the first sleeve section and the groove frame insulation and which has a joint element is placed on the second sleeve section of the stator bushing. The joint element engages into a joint contour of the first sleeve section.

In an opening/closing body control device, catching determination part (15) determines whether or not a catching in an opening/closing body has occurred based on a value of current that flows in a motor; a plurality of sensors (51 to 53) disposed to be shifted by predetermined electrical angles detect positions of magnetic poles of the motor (40); a counterclockwise pattern storage unit (14) stores a counterclockwise pattern which is a pattern corresponding to outputs of the plurality of sensors (51 to 53) and a predetermined shift in the electrical angles; and drive command part (16) controls the drive circuit (30) using a clockwise pattern or the counterclockwise pattern based on the outputs of the plurality of sensors (51 to 53), and in a case where the catching determination part (15) determines that a catching has occurred, controlling the drive circuit (30) in a predetermined pattern for eliminating the catching.

A vehicle door checker integrated with a power drive unit for an automobile door includes a direct current permanent magnet electric motor subject to cogging torque. The electric motor includes a central shaft. The vehicle door checker also includes a cogging torque increase device that is mounted to the central shaft externally of the motor. The cogging torque increase device includes pairs of oppositely magnetized permanent magnets that are mounted coaxially in a stator and rotor respectively about the motor shaft. The stator magnets and the rotor magnets shift into and out of alignment with each other as the shaft is rotated such that the motor is held in multiple discrete stable positions that correspond to check positions of an automobile door.

A latch for use in a vehicle including a catch, a pawl, a motor including a motor shaft, and drivetrain including, a first gear and a pawl lifter. The first gear is configured to rotate about a first axis as the motor shaft rotates when the drivetrain is in the operating state and defining an aperture configured to receive an opening tool and translate along the first axis from a first position to a second position to change the drivetrain from the operating state to the service state, when the opening tool is inserted into the aperture. When the first gear is in the second position, the first gear is configured to pivot the pawl lifter to move the pawl from the pawl closed position of the pawl open position.

Embodiments of a system for controlling a vehicle power tailgate are described. The system includes a motor operably connectible to a tailgate to open and close the tailgate, a processor, and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores a tailgate control module including instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to, responsive to a value of a motor speed parameter being above a predetermined motor speed threshold and a value of a motor acceleration parameter being above a predetermined motor acceleration threshold during opening of a tailgate, control operation of the motor to apply a braking force to the tailgate.

A drive device for moving a leaf, in particular a door leaf or window leaf, includes an electric machine. The electric machine is an axial flux machine having a stator, in particular a single stator, and a rotor, in particular a single rotor, which is rotatable relative to the stator about a machine axis.
