Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4444762A1] The proposal is for a circuit and a process for operating an adjustement drive (10, 11, 12) which detect a characteristic (38, 42) of the adjusting drive (10, 11, 12) as a measure of the adjustment force or torque and prepare an overload signal (41, 45) if a limit is exceeded. According to the invention, the electric power for the electric motor (10) is set at a value making it possible to maintain a predetermined spring rate in a clamping process giving the change in force related to a change in travel. The travel of the part (12) to be adjusted is divided into intervals (I) which are considerably smaller than the total adjustment travel. The process assesses a continuous change in the characteristics detected in a predetermined number of successive intervals (I) to find an overload signal (41, 45). A preferred application of the circuit and process of the invention for operating an adjustement drive (10, 11, 12) is in a motor vehicle.
