Abstract

The invention relates to a linear drive device having a housing element in which at least one drivable actuating element is arranged, a guide unit which is coupled to the actuation element and moves relative to the housing element between two stroke end positions in linear direction, a stroke limiting device, by means of which a first stroke end position and a second stroke end position of the guide unit are adjustable, wherein the stroke limiting device has a first stop and a first counterstop for setting a limit of the first stroke end position and a second stop and a second counterstop for setting a first limit of the second stroke end position, wherein the stroke limiting device has a third stop which is adapted to set a second limit of the second stroke end position adjusted with the first counterstop.

Claims (25)

1. Linear drive device, comprising:

a housing element in which at least one drivable actuating element is arranged,

a guide unit which is coupled for movement with the actuating element and is guided linearly movable relative to the housing element between two stroke end positions,

a stroke limiting device, by means of which a first stroke end position and a second stroke end position of the guide unit are adjustable, wherein

the stroke limiting device comprises a first stop and a first counterstop for setting a limit of the first stroke end position and a second stop and a second counterstop for setting a first limit of the second stroke end position, wherein

the stroke limiting device has a third stop which is adapted to set a second limit of the second stroke end position with the first counterstop,

wherein the first counterstop is arranged between the first stop and the third stop.

2. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the first stop, the second stop and the third stop are fixedly connected with the housing element.

3. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the first counterstop or the second counterstop is adapted for arranging a damping element.

4. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the first counterstop and the second counterstop are fixedly connected with the guide unit.

5. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the first stop, the second stop and the third stop are adapted each for arranging a damping element.

6. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the guide unit and the actuating element are connected via a connecting element.

7. Linear drive device according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting element is arranged front side on the linear drive device.

8. Linear drive device according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting element is designed as a yoke plate.

9. Linear drive device according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting element and the guide unit is formed as an integral component.

10. Linear drive device according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting element comprises at least one opening for adjusting a damping element.

11. Linear drive device according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting element is adapted for arranging a damping element.

12. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the first counterstop is adapted to support a magnetic element.

13. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing element comprises at least one groove for receiving a sensor strip.

14. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear drive device has a sensor strip which has sensor elements for detecting at least the first stroke end position and the second stroke end position of the guide unit.

15. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing element and the guide unit define a construction space through the first stroke end position and the second stroke end position, wherein the stroke limiting device is arranged in its entirety within the construction space.

16. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the first stop, the second stop and the third stop are fixedly connected with the housing element.

17. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the first counterstop or the second counterstop is adapted for arranging a damping element.

18. Linear drive device according to claim 2 , wherein at least the first counterstop or the second counterstop is adapted for arranging a damping element.

19. Linear drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the first counterstop and the second counterstop are fixedly connected with the guide unit.
