A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919586B2) discloses a method for operating an actuator in a motor vehicle. The actuator, equipped with an actuating drive and a signal input, functions based on a setpoint value received via the signal input and a threshold value stored within the actuator. The threshold value is adjusted to match the setpoint value when the actuator moves out of its defined operating range. Additionally, the actuating speed of the actuator decreases as the distance between the actual value and the threshold value reduces, ensuring precise control.

Moreover, the patent details the use of an actuator for rear-axle steering in a motor vehicle, showcasing its versatility in different automotive applications. The actuator is designed to compare identifiers received via the signal input with stored identifiers, resetting the threshold value to an initial value if discrepancies are detected. Furthermore, the patent also covers the operation of an arrangement comprising an actuator and a control unit, emphasizing the coordination between the two components for efficient motor vehicle control. The method involves storing a maximum setpoint value in the control unit and adjusting the threshold value in the actuator accordingly, ensuring optimal performance within a specified value range.
