Abstract
Abstract An electric rotary actuator, particularly for controlling a throttle cross-section in a line conducting operating fluid of an internal combustion engine has a housing, motor actuating unit including windings and magnetic poles located in the housing and magnetic armature rotatable relative to the windings and to the magnetic poles, a throttle. The housing has ducts leading into an interior space between the windings and each having an end at another end face of the armature. The armature has at least one cutout extending in an axial direction and bringable in alignment with the ducts. The armature forms the throttle member through which a fluid to be controlled is conducted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
An electric rotary actuator, particularly for controlling a throttle cross section in a line conducting operating fluid of an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing; motor actuating means including windings and magnetic poles located in said housing and a magnetic armature rotatable relative to said windings and to said magnetic poles, said magnetic poles being concentric to said armature; and a throttle member, said housing having ducts leading into an interior space between said windings and each having an end at another end face of said armature, said armature having at least one cutout extending in an axial direction and bringable in alignment with said ducts, said armature forming said throttle member through which a fluid to be controlled is conducted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
An electric rotary actuator, particularly for controlling a throttle cross section in a line conducting operating fluid of an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing; motor actuating means including windings and magnetic poles located in said housing and a magnetic armature rotatable relative to said windings and to said magnetic poles, said magnetic poles being concentric to said armature; and a throttle member, said housing having ducts leading into an interior space between said windings and each having an end at another end face of said armature, said armature having at least one cutout extending in an axial direction and bringable in alignment with said ducts, said armature forming said throttle member through which a fluid to be controlled is conducted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
An electric rotary actuator as defined in claim 1, wherein said housing has a wall forming one of said ducts, said wall having a control opening acting in conjunction with said throttle member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
An electric rotary actuator as defined in claim 1, wherein said windings are injection-molded plastic windings and are sealed relative to said interior space.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
An electric rotary actuator as defined in claim 1, wherein said motor actuator means includes a stator which accommodates said windings and is molded without gap.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
