Abstract

The disclosure relates to an electric actuator having an electric motor comprising a rotor which is arranged such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation in a stator housing having an axial installation length. To simplify accommodating the electric actuator in a limited axial installation space, the stator housing is arranged with an axial end in a controller housing and is fastened within the controller housing.

Claims (8)

1. An electric actuator having an electric motor comprising a rotor which is arranged such that it rotates about an axis of rotation in a stator housing having an axial installation length, wherein the stator housing is arranged with an axial end in a controller housing and is fastened within the controller housing,

wherein the stator housing comprises a stator pot including a flange region and a pot base, wherein the pot base is positioned on a side facing away from the flange region, the stator housing is arranged in the controller housing at the axial end and in a transmission housing at an opposite axial end, the stator housing is arranged entirely within a cavity which is delimited by a recess of the controller housing and a recess of the transmission housing such that the stator pot is encapsulated within the cavity, wherein the electric actuator further comprises a first bearing for a rotor shaft of the rotor, the first bearing being positioned in the pot base.

2. The electric actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator pot is made of a metal material and the stator housing is crimped inside the controller housing.

3. The electric actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator housing is crimped with a plastic housing body of the controller housing at at least two crimping points.

4. The electric actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the controller housing comprises an annular body with which the controller housing abuts against an end face of the transmission housing.

5. The electric actuator according to claim 1 , wherein radially outside the stator housing a sealing device is arranged between the controller housing and the transmission housing.

6. The electric actuator according to claim 1 , wherein a second bearing for the rotor shaft is arranged inside the controller housing.

7. The electric motor, stator, stator housing, rotor, rotor shaft, bearing, transmission housing and/or sealing device for an electric actuator according to claim 1 .
