Electric drive unit, especially compact unit for use in motor vehicles, has guide element that protrudes into path traversed by brushes and/or carrier so brushes increasingly move apart on approaching commutator to adopt operating position

摘要

The unit has an electric motor with a commutator (18) and brushes (16) that contact the commutator in an operating position and are attached to at least one carrier (15), whereby the brush carrier(s) and motor can be moved with respect to each other to adopt the operating position. At least one guide element (17) protrudes into a path traversed by the brushes and/or the at least one carrier so that the brushes increasingly move apart on approaching the commutator to adopt the operating position.
