Actuating system comprising a piston-cylinder assembly together with a driving device
First Claim
1. An actuating system for moving a movable part which is rotationally movable with respect to a base, said actuating system comprisinga driving device which is operatively connected to said movable part for rotationally moving said movable part with respect to said base, said driving device comprising an electromagnetic coupling which opens if a power failure occurs, and a spring type actuator which is connected in parallel to the driving device to drive the driving device when the coupling opens.

Abstract
An actuating system includes a driving device fixed to a base part and operatively connected to a movable part. A sensor detects the rotational speed of the movable part at a reference measuring location, and a control system forms a differential of the rotational speed with respect to the time. The formed differential is compared in a comparison unit with a stored differential value which corresponds to a measuring point on a route of movement of the movable part. An obstacle is recognized when there is a difference above a threshold value between the formed differential and the associated stored value.
