Abstract

The disclosure relates to an actuator module at least consisting of an electrical machine and an application module. The electrical machine consists of a stator and a rotor, the rotor is slidably mounted directly on the stator, and the stator and the rotor are surrounded with plastic at least in the region of the inner bearing face. The plastic coating of the cylindrical rotor outer face has structures which extend as a spiral continuously over the height of the rotor.

Claims (14)

1. An actuator module comprising an electric machine and an application module, wherein the electric machine comprises a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor in a plain bearing is mounted directly on the stator, and the stator and the rotor at least in the region of the inner bearing face are surrounded by a plastics material or another low-friction material, wherein the plastics material coating of the cylindrical rotor external face or of the stator internal face has structures which in a spiral manner extend continuously across the construction height of the rotor or of the stator,

the rotor including a first height at a radially outward extent of the rotor and a second height less than the first height at a radially inward extent of the rotor, the second height being defined by constrictions on opposite sides of the rotor.

2. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor is pretensioned in relation to the stator.

3. The actuator module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rotor is pretensioned by way of a force by virtue of the magnetic flux between a non-centric stator and the rotor.

4. The actuator module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rotor is pretensioned by way of a force on a shaft of the rotor.

5. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor is pretensioned counter to a centering spring.

6. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the structures of the rotor external face are composed of grooves and/or ribs.

7. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one groove and/or rib runs across the entire external shell of the rotor.

8. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the construction height of the electric machine is determined by the stator, independently of the height of the rotor.

9. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electric machine is covered by a housing part of the application module.

10. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor is a plastics material injection-molded component.

11. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor contains overmolded or plastics-material-bonded magnets.

12. A method for producing an actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor or the stator is produced in a cylindrical tool, and demolding is performed by rotating the rotor or the stator out of the tool.

13. The actuator module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radially outward extent of the rotor is positioned adjacent to the stator.
