Abstract
The invention relates to an adjustment device for producing a rotational movement that comprises an output element ( ) that can be adjusted at an angle by actuating a drive element ( ). The adjustment device further comprises a load moment lock ( ) interposed between the drive and the output element ( ) that frictionally blocks a rotational movement initiated at the output element side and that transmits a rotational movement initiated at the drive element side to the output element ( ). Said load moment lock ( ) further comprises locking elements ( ′) that are disposed in a cylindrical adjustment housing ( ). Upon the effect of a play-compensating device ( ) that is at least partially interposed between opposite adjusting surfaces ( ′) of the locking elements ( ′) and that compensates the rotational angle play between the drive element ( ), the output element ( ) and the load moment lock ( ), the clamping surfaces ( ′″) are forced apart with such a force that they rest against the adjustment housing ( ) with a predetermined pre-load. The adjustment device is provided with a play-compensating device ( ) that for both directions of rotation radially.
