Application Example: Door Lock Latch Actuator
The Door Lock Latch actuator is an electromechanical device designed to manage the automatic locking and unlocking of the door lock in modern vehicles. Integrated into the lock assembly, this component allows the interface between the central locking system and the latch mechanism. These devices are reliable, quick to respond, and compatible with keyless systems; they can be found in different variants, front/rear, driver/passenger side, and are used by all major OEMs.
Technical Characteristics of the Actuator
-
Integrated electric motor power
-
Peak temperatures (high and low) at which it must operate
-
Materials and geometries of gears and levers (e.g., plastic material, metallic, and/or co-molded metallic)
-
Environment in which the actuator is mounted (e.g., inside the door panel, coupled with the mechanical latch)
-
Other useful information: rubbers and sealers used, case materials, number of cycles and type of test
Challenges for EMAX ARTIC SYNT V
-
Operation as silent as possible
-
Precise operation even in extreme conditions (vibrations, thermal shocks)
-
Compensate for possible geometric tolerances in couplings
-
Increase electric motor efficiency
-
Have the right compromise between adhesion and lubrication
-
Minimize malfunctions (difficulty in opening/closing the door, abnormal noises such as clicks and buzzes)
