Abstract
A drive with an electric motor, a housing and a direction-dependent brake, which includes a driver splined to a motor shaft, a drive output coupled freely pivotable around a small angle and shape-mated with the driver, several clamping devices and a clamping ring, in which the clamping devices cooperate with the clamping ring so that the brake conveys a torque from the electric motor to the driver output and brakes a back-driving torque of the drive output. The task of the invention is to present a brake in which no static redundancy occurs, which is simple to construct and in which no abrupt blocking is possible. This task is solved according to the invention in that the clamping ring is connected radially movable to the housing, a gearbox or a part attached to the housing so that the clamping ring after overcoming a defined force can be moved at least slightly radially by a clamping device.
