Abstract: Disclosed is a suspension module for an electric motor inside a tubular casing of an electromechanical actuator, intended for a closure or sun protection system and including a monobloc suspension member. The suspension member extends along a longitudinal axis intended to be aligned with a rotation axis of a rotor of the electric motor. The suspension member includes multiple circular plates disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and adjacent to one another along the length of the axis, including at least one intermediate circular plate. Each intermediate circular plate is connected to each of the two plates adjacent thereto by at least three connection points.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for configuring a motorized drive device for a closure or solar protection unit, the method including: a step in which a low end-of-travel position of a screen is determined automatically; a step in which the magnitude of an electric current passing through an electric motor is measured by a measurement device; a step in which a variation in the value magnitude is determined; and a step in which an obstacle-detection threshold value is determined during the movement of the screen towards its unwound position, according to the variation in the measured magnitude.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for winding a screen (10) which comprises a tubular winder (12) defining a reference axis (100); a first wall attachment (18A) for fastening a first axial end portion (14A) of the tubular winder (12) to a first wall (16A) in a use position of the screen-winding device (10); and a second wall attachment (18B) for fastening a second axial end portion (14B) of the tubular winder (12) to a second wall (16B) in the use position of the screen-winding device (10). The first wall attachment (18A) comprises at least one tab (54) for fastening to the first wall (16A) and at least one first hinge (58) supported by the fastening tab (54) in order to guide a pivoting of the tubular winder (12) about a first axis of articulation (200) that does not intersect with the reference axis (100) and, in the use position, orthogonal to the reference axis (100). The first wall attachment (18A) comprises a second jointed hinge (66) supported by the fastening tab (54) in order to guide the first hinge (58) so as to rotate about a second axis of articulation (300) that does not intersect with the reference axis and is not parallel to the first axis of articulation (200).

Abstract: An electromechanical actuator is integrated into a blackout or sun-shading device that includes a screen, top and bottom bars, ang top and bottom winding shafts. The screen is between the bars. The top bar is connected to the top winding shaft by first cords. The bottom bar is connected to the bottom winding shaft by second cords. The electromechanical actuator includes first and second transmission devices and an electric motor that drives the shafts. The first transmission device connects to the motor and the top winding shaft and includes a first clutch. The second transmission device connects to the electric motor and the bottom winding shaft and includes a second clutch. When the motor is activated with only one clutch engaged, only one winding shaft is rotated. Moreover, when the motor is activated electrically and the clutches are engaged, the winding shafts are rotated by the motor.

Abstract: An electromechanical actuator includes a casing, a torque support, a ring, an electrical power supply cable and a device for discharging electrostatic charge. The ring is inserted partly around the torque support and forms a bearing guiding the rotation of a winding tube. The discharge device includes an electrical conduction element, which is configured to be in electrical contact with the tube, and an electrical linking element. The ring bears the electrical conduction element. The torque support at least partly accommodates the electrical linking element. The electrical conduction element is configured to be in electrical contact with the electrical linking element. The electrical linking element electrically connects the electrical conduction element to a shielding or to an earth electrical conductor of the cable.
