A drive device, in particular for an adjustable vehicle flap, comprising includes a housing extending axially along a drive axle, a motor for generating a driving force in the direction of the drive axle, a first drive element, and a coupling device arranged between the motor and the first drive element. The coupling device comprises a coupling housing and at least one first coupling part with a coupling section for coupling to the first drive element. The first drive element is coupled to the coupling device via the coupling section of the first coupling part, and a braking device for braking a drive movement of the first drive element. A drive device, in particular for an adjustable vehicle flap, which has a lower residual installation length and can thus be used more flexibly in various installation space situations is created by the braking device being arranged axially in the coupling section of the first coupling part.

A door drive for a motor vehicle door or motor vehicle flap, which is provided with an electromotive drive, a transmission downstream of the drive, and a force-transmission element. The force-transmission element is operatively connected to a leaf of the motor vehicle door or motor vehicle flap. An output element of the transmission and the force-transmission element are coupled by a toothing with compensation for play. According to the invention, the output element and/or the force-transmission element are not only designed to be moveable for play compensation, but can also be permanently fixed after the compensation for play.

An apparatus for controlling bus doors (14, 16) that are arranged as a pair of doors that move in coordinated relation between door open positions and door closed positions, enables passengers to access an interior area (12) of a bus (10). The apparatus includes an actuator (28, 226). The actuator includes a drive lever (34, 228) that is selectively rotationally movable between rotational positions in which both of the doors are in the open positions and in the closed positions. Exemplary arrangements include at least one controller (128) that is operative to prevent the doors from causing damage to or from being damaged by engagement with obstructions. The controller further enables a bus driver or other authorized user to control access to the interior area of the bus using a user mobile device (144).

An embodiment vehicle hinge driving apparatus for driving a vehicle hinge mounted between a door component and a vehicle body includes an actuator, a housing connected to the actuator, an output shaft having an axis aligned with an axis of the housing, and a transmission mechanism configured to vary a torque generated by the actuator and to transmit the torque to the output shaft.

The present disclosure relates a gearbox for power lift gate including a rotating frame (22/22′) arranged in the housing and rotatable relative to the housing, a sun roller (23) and a plurality of planetary gears (24) supported by the rotating frame (22/22′), an inner ring tooth (218) provided in the housing, and the planetary gear (24) being surrounded around the sun roller (23) in the central area. The sun roller (23) includes a first rod (230) with helical teeth which is meshed with a first gear (240) of the planetary gear, and a second rod (232) extending coaxially from the first rod (230). The planetary gear includes a second gear (242) meshed with the inner ring gear (218) of the housing to drive the rotating frame to rotate and revolve synchronously for driving external loads.

A door drive for a door of a vehicle includes a rotation motor, a first torque transmitting device for transmitting a first torque, and a second torque transmitting device for transmitting a second torque.
wherein

The door drive further includes a blocking device for blocking the first torque transmitting device, wherein the blocking device can be activated and deactivated, and the door drive has an actuating member for activating and/or deactivating the blocking device.

A control unit for establishing a functional connection between two gearing components comprises at least one control element, which can be moved in order to switch the control unit between different switching states, wherein the at least one control element is configured to provide a retaining force between the gearing components in a first switching state, and to allow movement of the gearing components in relation to one another in a second switching state. An actuator is used to move the at least one control element. A control mechanism controls the actuator. It is provided thereby that the control mechanism is configured to activate the actuator to switch the control unit from the first switching state to the second switching state, in order to move the at least one control element to reduce the retaining force (FH) based on a predetermined delay function (VF).

A tubular housing, a motor part that is provided in the housing, and an end damper and a damper member, one of each is provided on opposing ends of the motor part in an axial direction of the motor part and absorbs vibration, wherein the motor part is supported in a floating state by the housing via the end damper and the damper member.

A friction based counterbalance mechanism for coupling with a closure panel of a vehicle, the counterbalance mechanism including: a housing having a first pivot mount for connecting to one of a body of the vehicle and the closure panel; an extension member coupled to the housing and being extendable and retractable with respect to the housing, the extension member for connecting by a second pivot mount to the other of the body and the closure panel; a variable friction mechanism mounted in the housing having: a shaft having an axis; a washer positioned on the axis; a pinion with a friction body positioned on the shaft and adjacent to the washer, the pinion rotatable about the axis relative to the washer during rotation of the shaft to generate friction between the washer and the friction body; and a slider body positioned on the axis.

An actuator includes a yoke having an inner circumferential surface; an armature including a rotary shaft provided inside the yoke; a drive shaft configured to be driven to rotate when receiving a rotating force from the rotary shaft; a cylindrical first housing; a second housing relatively movable with respect to the first housing; a speed reduction gear part is disposed between the rotary shaft and the drive shaft; and a driven member is connected to the drive shaft for moving in an axial direction of the drive shaft in response to rotation of the drive shaft.
