Abstract

In the case of an actuator, comprising an electrical drive (1) with a downstream transmission (2), in particular for automatic and electrical closure of doors of a vehicle, in particular of an aircraft, the actuator (R) is intended to have at least one associated electronic name plate (4).

Claims

1. Actuator, comprising an electrical drive (1) with a downstream transmission (2), in particular for automatic and electrical closure of doors of a vehicle, in particular of an aircraft,

characterized

in that the actuator (R) has at least one associated electronic name plate (4).

2. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein actuator-specific characteristic data is stored in the electronic name plate (4).

3. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein the exactly determined characteristic data of the actuator (R) itself is stored in the electronic name plate (4).

4. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein the respective specific, exactly determined, characteristic data is stored in the electronic name plate (4) by means of appropriate experiments, as well as measurements of each individual actuator (R) itself.

5. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein the actuator'"'"'s own specific characteristic data is measured, determined or determined by means of experiments and tests, and load tested immediately before installation of the actuator (R), and can then be stored on an actuator-specific basis in the electronic name plate (4) for each individual actuator (R) itself.

6. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein characteristic values, in particular factors as “

KT”

factors, are stored in the electronic name plate (4), in which case a ratio of the torque as a function of the current and the rotation speed can be stored as a factor.

7. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of torques to the current as a function of the applied rotation speed can be stored as a factor in the electronic name plate (4), on an actuator-specific or appliance-specific basis, and in each case individually, thus allowing the appliance to be used on user-specific basis by means of the exactly determined factor, in an exactly controllable manner with respect to the torque to be produced in the actuator (R).

8. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein the electronic name plate (4) is associated with the electrical drive (1) and/or the downstream transmission (2) and/or a plug element (3), or is integrated there.

9. Actuator according to claim 1, wherein only the specific KT factor for that appliance can be read from the electronic name plate (4) as the ratio between the torque and current as a function of the rotation speed, with the emitted torque being driven and controlled exactly by means of this data.

10. Actuator according to claim 6, wherein after determination of a factor for that specific actuator, a minimum requirement for a torque and a maximum permissible torque of the actuator (R) can be controlled exactly during operation on a user-specific basis for one specific application.
