• the co-rotating with the output member 6 fixing screw 21 fulfills in this way the additional function to transmit the rotational movement of the output element 6 and thus the rotational movement of the drive shaft 20 of the driven system 19 to the sensor 32.
• FIG. 3 schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of a drive system according to the invention, in particular for a motor vehicle and / or a passenger car, which has an internal combustion engine 36 and an actuator 1 according to the invention coupled to the internal combustion engine for changing the expansion stroke and / or the compression ratio of the internal combustion engine.
• a sensor 32 is arranged, which measures the rotational position and / or the number of revolutions of the fastening screw 21 and thus a coupled adjusting shaft 37 relative to the actuator housing 14 and transmits the measured value to an electronic control device 38.
• the control device 38 controls taking into account the transmitted measured value further settings of the internal combustion engine, such as the ignition timing and / or the camshaft setting.
• the co-rotating with the adjusting shaft 37 mounting screw 21 fulfills the additional function of transmitting the rotational movement of the output element and thus the rotational movement of the adjusting shaft to the sensor 32.
• the actuator 1 has a fastening channel 39, through which a fastening screw 21 can be guided to the output element 6.
• a tool for rotating the fastening screw 21 can be introduced through the fastening channel 39.
• the fastening screw 21 does not extend through the entire actuator 1 in the mounted state. Rather, the fastening screw 21 is made shorter than the fastening screw 21 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1.
• the fastening screw 21 may be formed as a standard screw. Between the head 22 of the fastening screw 21 and the output shaft 17 is a, in particular standardized, washer 40 is arranged.
• the fastening screw 21 can be operated with a sufficiently long tool whose free end is guided when coupling the driven element 6 to the drive shaft 20 of the driven system 19 through the mounting channel 39 to the head 22 of the fastening screw 21.
• the fastening channel 39 is bounded by a circular cylindrical sleeve 41.
• the sleeve also has the function of delimiting the fastening channel 39 from different spaces of the actuator 1.
• the sleeve 41 provides on the outside and front side each have a sealing surface. At the end-side sealing surface is located on a first seal 42, which is also in contact with the output member 6. On the outside sealing surface is a second seal 43, which is also in contact with the hollow shaft 7 and which is preferably formed as a non-abrasive seal.
• the sleeve 41 is arranged stationary relative to an actuator housing 14 and connected directly to the actuator housing 14.
• the sleeve 41 extends both through the gear 5, as well as by the drive motor 2, wherein the input port 44 of the mounting channel 39 and the output element 6 are arranged on opposite sides of the actuator 1.
• the inlet opening 44 of the fastening channel 39 is provided with a removable lid 45 locked.
• the hollow shaft 7, as a driven component of the drive motor 2, and the wave generator 8 are formed as separately manufactured components which are rotatably connected to each other.
• the wave generator 8 has a central recess, is inserted into the hollow shaft 7 by means of a clamping member 46 frictionally engaged and rotationally fixed.
• the clamping member 46 may be formed, for example, as a corrugated and / or elastic and / or cylindrically curved band, in particular sheet-metal strip, and / or as a slotted ring and / or as a corrugated cylindrical spring tube.
• FIG. 6 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of an actuator 1 according to the invention, which is similar to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG.
• the hollow shaft 7 is rotatably mounted with a first sealed bearing 47, which replaces the existing in the first embodiment, the first seal 24 with respect to the sealing function.
• the fastening screw 21 does not have the diameter thickening 27, which has the fastening screw 21 of the first embodiment.
• the second seal 25 is not present. Rather, the fastening screw 21 is rotatably supported by means of a second sealed bearing 48 relative to the hollow shaft 7, so that the second sealed bearing 48 assumes the sealing function, which exerts the second seal 25 in the first embodiment.
