Abstract
A simple, inexpensive, and effective linear actuator design comprises a motor adjacent to a speed-reducer, with the driven stem of the speed-reducer passing through the rotor of the motor. The stem has one bearing at one end of the reducer and its second bearing at the end of the motor, in a bearing part likewise serving as a bearing for the rotor. The distance between the two bearings is increased, and the second bearing includes a socket which has a radial elasticity owing to the fact that it is monolithically joined to the fixed bearing part via a thin portion. This second bearing part is advantageously of synthetic material. The rotation of the stem actuates a driven linear-motion part, which is prevented from rotating and which executes a translatory movement.
