A tubular electromechanical actuator for a home-automation installation includes at least an electronic control unit, an electric motor, a reduction gear, an output shaft, a casing and a closure element. The unit includes a housing and an electronic board. The electronic board is arranged inside the housing. The casing is hollow and configured to house at least the unit, the electric motor and the reduction gear. The closure element is configured to close off an end of the casing. The housing includes at least a first section, produced in the form of a hollow tube, and a second section, produced in the form of a hollow tube. The first and second sections are configured to house the electronic board. In addition, the first section includes first fastening elements configured to cooperate with first fastening elements of the second section.

Tubular electromechanical actuator and home-automation installation comprising such an actuator

A tubular electromechanical actuator includes an electric motor, reduction gear, output shaft and casing. The casing is hollow and houses at least the electric motor and the reduction gear. The casing includes a first end and a second end. The actuator also includes a retaining element assembled at the first end of the casing, so as to close off the first end of the casing. The retaining element includes at least a first stop configured to cooperate with the reduction gear, in an assembled configuration of the actuator, and a second stop configured to cooperate with the casing, at the first end of the casing, in the assembled configuration of the actuator. Furthermore, the retaining element includes at least one accommodation configured to cooperate with at least one rib of the reduction gear, so as to participate in the sealing between the retaining element and the reduction gear.

Tubular electromechanical actuator and home automation installation comprising such an actuator

A tubular electromechanical actuator includes an assembly, a casing and a closure element for closing off the casing. The assembly includes an electronic control unit, an electric motor, a reduction gear and an output shaft. The casing is hollow and configured to house the assembly. The casing includes a first end and a second end. The output shaft protrudes from the casing at the first end of the casing, in an assembled configuration of the actuator. The closure element protrudes from the casing at the second end of the casing, in the assembled configuration of the actuator. The actuator also includes an interface element. The interface element is arranged between the closure element and the electronic control unit. In addition, the interface element includes a housing containing an element for preventing play between the closure element and the interface element along the axial direction of the actuator.

Tubular electromechanical actuator, home-automation installation comprising such an actuator, and method for assembling such an actuator

A tubular electromechanical actuator includes an electric motor, a housing, a closure element and a crown. The housing includes a first end and a second end. The closure element is configured to close off the second end of the housing and includes indentations configured to engage with recesses in the housing. The crown is arranged at least around the housing and at the second end of the housing. The crown is a monobloc part and includes clearances and a stop. The clearances of the crown are configured to engage with the indentations of the closure element. The stop is configured to engage with the indentations of the closure element, following the assembly of the crown with the closure element and a rotational movement of the crown relative to the closure element, so as to block the translation of the crown with respect to the closure element.
