The invention relates to an electric linear drive (1) for a gear rack (3), comprising a stepping motor (4), a holding plate (8), a motor output gear (7), and a gearbox (9), wherein the holding plate (8), the stepping motor (4) having a motor output gear (7), and the gearbox (9) form a drive unit (14) which, together with a basic housing (15), form an overall housing (16), and wherein the overall housing (16) has an opening (17) for the insertion of the gear rack (3). In addition, drive electronics (19) are preferably fixed to the holding plate (8), in particular integrated in the latter, specifically such that electrical connections (20) are present on the outside of the overall housing (16). In addition, the stepping motor (4) preferably has a rotor axis (5) which is arranged parallel to the holding plate (8). Only a few steps are required during assembly. A rack (3) belonging to a device (2) to be driven can be pushed into a lateral opening (17) of the overall housing (16), and the device (2) to be driven can be connected to the overall housing (16). The invention develops particular advantages in the case of devices (2) to be driven and located close to one another, in particular hydraulic valves. The linear drive (1) according to the invention can be produced very compactly, for example having a height (H) of less than 50 mm, a width (B) of less than 50 mm, and a length (L) of less than 150 mm. |
