The invention relates to an actuator for an orthopedic device with an actuator housing and a heat store for storing the heat produced during operation of the actuator, the heat store having a heat store housing that has a cavity and a heat storage medium present therein, or consisting of a heat storage medium. The heat store is designed to be attachable to or in the actuator housing and has a receiving region that matches an actuator housing region and, when the heat store is mounted, is in heat-transferring contact with the actuator housing.

Actuator and heat store for actuator

A linear force-measuring device for a hydraulic actuator of an orthopedic device. The force-measuring device includes a base, a bearing receptacle and at least one sensor for detecting changes in length between the base and the bearing receptacle, wherein the bearing receptacle is connected to the base via two opposing connecting parts, and the at least one sensor is secured to one of the connecting parts.

Linear force-measuring device and hydraulic actuator

An orthopedic device with a hydraulic damping device, a valve with a valve seat and a valve body that is subjected to a closing force. The closing force is applied via a valve spring that is pre-loaded towards the valve seat. A fluid connection between the hydraulic damping device and the valve seat is provided. The valve features an adjustment device for adjusting the preload of the valve spring.

Orthopedic device

A hydraulic actuator includes a housing and with a chamber, which is arranged or formed in the housing and in which a piston is mounted movably and divides the chamber into a flexion chamber and an extension chamber. A channel for hydraulic fluid leads from the flexion chamber and the extension chamber into the housing in order to produce a fluidic connection between the flexion chamber and the extension chamber. At least one valve is arranged in the fluidic connection. The channels lead from the housing to a valve block in which the at least one valve is arranged and is fluidically coupled to the channels, and the valve block is connected to the housing.
