Linear actuator comprising a brushless polyphase electric motor

摘要

A linear actuator includes a brushless polyphase synchronous electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The rotor acts on a control element via a driver which can transform the rotation movement thereof into a linear movement over several rotations. Preferably, the inventive actuator comprises elastic and/or magnetic return device which can systematically return the control element to a reference position when the power supply to the motor is cut. The motor has a position detection device which, together with an electronic control unit, is used for the automatic control and regulation of the position of the rotor and, therefore, the control element.
