Abstract
Abstract A rotary idle-speed actuator for controlling a throttle cross-section in a line carrying combustion air for an internal combustion engine has an actuating motor with a stator and a rotor. The rotor is mounted on a shaft of a throttle member which more or less opens a control opening. The rotor has a cup-shaped form with a bottom and a cylinder-jacket-shaped wall. The stator has field windings and is arranged together with the field windings inside the rotor, and the stator is mounted only at its end which is opposite to the bottom of the rotor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A rotary idle-spaced actuator for controlling a throttle cross-section in a line carrying combustion air for an internal combustion engine, comprising a collectorless actuating motor with a stator having field windings, and a rotor mountable on a shaft of a throttle member which more or less opens a control opening, said rotor having a cap-shaped form with a disc-shaped bottom and a cylinder-jacket shaped wall said stator and said field winding extending substantially entirely within said cylinder-jacket shaped wall of said cap-shaped rotor and being mounted only at one end which faces away from said bottom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A rotary idle-spaced actuator for controlling a throttle cross-section in a line carrying combustion air for an internal combustion engine, comprising a collectorless actuating motor with a stator having field windings, and a rotor mountable on a shaft of a throttle member which more or less opens a control opening, said rotor having a cap-shaped form with a disc-shaped bottom and a cylinder-jacket shaped wall said stator and said field winding extending substantially entirely within said cylinder-jacket shaped wall of said cap-shaped rotor and being mounted only at one end which faces away from said bottom.
