Linear actuator
A linear actuator including an electric motor having a stator and a rotor, in addition to a screw drive having a spindle and a nut which is guided by the rolling element on the spindle and which is coupled to the rotor. The nut is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner on a housing component by a planetary roller bearing.
1. A linear actuator comprising an electric motor with a stator and a rotor, a planetary gear drive with a spindle, a first plurality of planets, and a nut, wherein the first plurality of planets mesh with the spindle and the nut, and wherein the nut is coupled with the rotor, and is supported axially and radially for rotation on a housing component by a planetary rolling contact bearing having a second plurality of planets arranged to mesh with an outer ring and the nut via grooves in the outer ring and the nut, and
wherein the planetary gear drive includes one or more outer rings rotationally locked in the nut, wherein the one or more outer rings mesh with the first plurality of planets.
2. The linear actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the planetary rolling contact bearing is arranged axially adjacent to the stator.
3. The linear actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the nut includes grooves in which the planets of the planetary rolling contact bearing run on an outer side of the nut.
4. The linear actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the planetary rolling contact bearing includes the outer ring that is held in a housing-side, complementary-shaped recess.
5. The linear actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor is supported so that for rotation on another housing component in an interior of the stator by a radial bearing.
6. The linear actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor is constructed as a hollow component and has a section forming the nut.
7. The linear actuator according to claim 6 , wherein the section forming the nut extends partially into the stator, so that the screw drive is held at least in some sections in an interior of the stator.
8. The linear actuator according to claim 7 , wherein the planetary gear drive is held completely in the interior of the stator.
9. A tool holder for a machine tool, comprising a tool spindle that is driven with an axially moveable clamping device provided in an interior of the tool spindle for clamping the tool against a retaining section provided on a spindle side, the clamping device is connected detachably to the tool by a connection section and is movable by one or more spring elements axially into a clamped position and is movable against a restoring force of the one or more spring elements into an unclamped position, and for an axial movement into the unclamped position, a linear actuator according to claim 1 is provided and the spindle is detachably coupled with the clamping device.
10. A linear actuator comprising an electric motor with a stator and a rotor, a planetary gear drive with a spindle, a first plurality of planets, and a nut, wherein the first plurality of planets mesh with the spindle and the nut, and wherein the nut is coupled with the rotor, and is supported axially and radially for rotation on a housing component by a planetary rolling contact bearing having a second plurality of planets arranged to mesh with an outer ring and the nut via grooves in the outer ring and the nut, and
wherein the planetary rolling contact bearing is arranged axially beyond the stator.
