A contact-and-separation system includes a first roller, a second roller, and a contact-and-separation device. The first roller contacts a belt. The second roller is opposed to the first roller. The contact-and-separation device contacts or separates the belt to or from the second roller via a sheet conveyed. The contact-and-separation device includes an eccentric cam, a motor, and a circuitry. The eccentric cam is mounted on an end of a rotation shaft of the first roller. The motor rotates the eccentric cam. The circuitry controls the motor to rotate the eccentric cam to contact or separate the belt to or from the second roller via the sheet conveyed. The circuitry controls the motor to decelerate a rotation speed of the motor on contact or separation of the belt to or from the second roller between the first roller and the second roller.

A method is proposed for adjusting an actuator (300) of a positioning system (100). The positioning system (100) has an electronically commutated actuator drive (200) which is coupled to the actuator (300), wherein the actuator drive (200) has a permanent magnetic rotor (210), wherein the rotor (210) has a first shaft (212) which extends along a pole axis (290) of the rotor (210). The actuator drive (200) additionally has an electronically commutated stator (230), wherein the stator (230) can be energized using a space phasor (260), wherein the space phasor (260) has an electric phase and an amplitude, wherein the space phasor (260) is aligned with respect to the first shaft (212) of the rotor (210) around a difference phasing.
