Abstract
A drive device which is intended for displacing two linearly movable components of a plastics injection-molding machine at least partly at successive times, in particular for displacing the injection unit for bringing the injection nozzle into contact with a mold and for displacing the injection mechanism for injecting polymer into the mold. With a known drive device, arranged downstream of an electric rotating motor are two clutches, by which rotational movements are transmitted on the basis of frictional engagement, and with which wear accordingly occurs. Each clutch is followed by a threaded drive, by which the rotational movement of the output element of a clutch is transformed into the linear movement of the machine component to be displaced. To make the known drive device for a plastics injection-molding machine less susceptible to wear and less costly in a first way the threaded drive is arranged between the electric motor and the two clutches and, for displacing the one movable component, the linearly movable drive output element of the threaded drive is able to be moved beyond the displacement distance necessary for displacing the other movable component. In a second way the electric motor is an electric linear motor with a linearly movable drive output element, arranged downstream of which in the force chains are the two clutches, and for displacing the one movable component, the drive output element is movable beyond the displacement distance necessary for displacing the other movable component.
