Method for operating an axle of a control or regulating element of an apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to a rotary element for actuating an axle of a control or regulating element of an apparatus, which rotary element is provided with a device for compensating an offset between the axle and the bore accommodating the latter in the rotary element. The object is to accommodate this so-called axle compensation within an axially restricted space in the rotary element itself. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the rotary element (1, 101) consists of three parts, namely a rotary element (4, 104) proper, rotatably mounted in the apparatus casing (2, 102), a guide element (5, 105) accommodating the axle (6) of the control or regulating element, and a clutch element (7, 107) which is inserted between the rotary element (4, 104) proper and the guide element (5, 105) and by means of which the rotary motion of the rotary element (4, 104) proper can be transmitted to the axle (6) of the control or regulating element but is arranged with clearance within a circular-cylindrical outer shell (10, 110) of the rotary element (4, 104) proper, with the result that a radial offset and/or tilt of the clutch element (7, 107) in relation to the rotary element (4, 104) proper and/or the guide element (5, 105) is possible. <IMAGE>
