Abstract: An electromechanical actuator comprises a housing, a torque support (21) and a module for filtering vibrations (33). The torque support (21) comprises a shaft (35) extending along an axis of rotation (X) of the actuator. The module (33) is arranged inside the housing and comprises a transmission element (36), a stop (38) and first and second viscoelastic elements (39, 40). The transmission element (36) is mounted around the shaft (35) and is attached to the housing. The stop (38) is connected to the shaft (35). The first viscoelastic element (39) is arranged between the torque support (21) and a first end (36a) of the transmission element (36). The second viscoelastic element (40) is arranged between a second end (36b) of the transmission element (36) and the stop (38).

Abstract: A motorized drive device includes an electric motor, a first holding device and a first switching mechanism. In a first position of the first mechanism, a first guide wheel of the first holding device is offset relative to a second guide wheel of the first holding device, so as to hold the motorized drive device relative to a rail by supporting the first and second guide wheels with respective first and second tracks of the rail. Furthermore, in a second position of the first mechanism, the first guide wheel is positioned opposite the second guide wheel, in a direction of movement of the motorized drive device along the rail, so as to insert or extract the first and second guide wheels into or from the rail, through a slot of the rail.

Abstract: A tubular electromechanical actuator includes an assembly, a casing and a closure element for closing off the casing. The assembly includes an electronic control unit, an electric motor, a reduction gear and an output shaft. The casing is hollow and configured to house the assembly. The casing includes a first end and a second end. The output shaft protrudes from the casing at the first end of the casing, in an assembled configuration of the actuator. The closure element protrudes from the casing at the second end of the casing, in the assembled configuration of the actuator. The actuator also includes an interface element. The interface element is arranged between the closure element and the electronic control unit. In addition, the interface element includes a housing containing an element for preventing play between the closure element and the interface element along the axial direction of the actuator.
