Abstract:
A support post includes an inner post that supports rotation of an outer post. The inner post includes a journal assembly that supports and facilitates rotation about a central axis. The journal assembly that supports the outer post on the inner post includes a single ball bearing disposed along the axis of rotation. The inner post is fixed and supports a central post on which the ball bearing is supported. The outer post includes a sleeve that fits over the ball bearing and the central post. Support of the outer post along the central axis provides for improved mounting and gate support. An actuator can be utilized to automatically or remotely open the gate. The actuator is disposed within the inner post that drives rotation of the outer post. The outer post remains supported by the journal assembly and is rotated by the actuator with the inner post.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive unit for automatically actuating a tailgate of a motor vehicle. Connecting the drive unit (4) to the vehicle door (1) or to a transmission device (6) by means of an output shaft (5), said transmission device executing a pivoting movement which corresponds to the pivoting movement of the vehicle door (1), and the drive unit (4) comprising at least one first sensor device (7), which can be connected to an electronic evaluation device (21) and serves to detect the respective angular position of the vehicle door (1). In order to make use of the advantages of an incrementally operating position measurement system of the vehicle door (1), in which, recalibration is necessary not only after the end positions of the vehicle door (1) are reached following a power cut. The invention proposes dividing the entire pivot angle (à) of the vehicle door (1) into at least three successive zones (pivot angle ranges) (à1-à4), it being possible to determine the individual pivot angle ranges (à1-à4) by means of a first sensor device (7), which is suitable for detecting absolute values. The pivot angle of the vehicle door within the individual zones (à1-à4) is then detected with the aid of a second sensor device (8), which comprises at least one incrementally operating measured value detector.

Abstract:
A power closure actuator especially suitable for use in powering various automotive closure devices. The actuator includes a brushless pancake electric motor having an output shaft; a sun gear on the output shaft; a plurality of compound planet gears each having a large diameter lower portion meshingly engaging the sun gear and a small diameter upper portion; a ring gear surrounding and meshingly engaging the small diameter upper portions of the planet gears, and a cable drum splined to the ring gear. A mounting plate positioned in overlying confronting relation to the flat upper face of the motor mounts a plurality of planet shafts extending upwardly from the mounting plate in circumferentially spaced relation to the motor output shaft with a compound planet gear journaled on each planet shaft.
Abstract:
A drive arrangement for a motor vehicle door or hatch which can be moved by a motor with a planet gear and a brake device with a brake. The brake device has a brake drive which is separate from the drive which drives the drive shaft and the brake is able to be moved at least from one of two positions into the other of the two positions by the brake drive. The brake can be an arc-shaped clip pivotally supported by a pivot axle with an inner periphery which is matched to an outer periphery of an element of the planet gear. The brake can be combined with the brake drive as an eddy current brake or can be operated by a further gearing or use of a permanent magnet with which an electromagnet is able to interact.

Abstract:
A vehicle decklid system uses a planetary gear drive to move a decklid relative to a vehicle body. The planetary gear drive includes a rotatable gear that is disposed between two fixed gears. One fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the decklid and one fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the vehicle body. A rotating link connects centers of the rotatable gear and two fixed gears. The combination of the planetary gear drive and rotating link make it possible to provide powered complex, two-dimensional motion of the decklid requiring a four-bar linkage.
Abstract:
A drive system for regulating devices in motor vehicles comprising a housing containing a drive element of the regulating device, a disk armature motor provided with an armature disk, and a planet wheel transmission. Said planet wheel transmission comprises an internal geared wheel fixed to the housing and provided with an internal gear, an output internal geared wheel connected to the drive element of the regulating device and provided with an internal gear, and a radially flexible ring, the external gear thereof partially meshing with the inner gears of the internal geared wheel fixed to the housing and of the output internal geared wheel, and the inner envelope surface thereof rolling on rollers arranged on a drive hub connected to the armature disk. A journal pertaining to the output internal geared wheel is centred between the fixed drive axle and a cylinder of the drive hub.
