Abstract
A remote drive with a support element for a top-hat-rail mounting. Opposing actuators disposed on the support element alternatingly act on a displaceably mounted slider by rod-shaped anchors. A slider passage receives a first lever arm of a rocker lever pivotable about a rotational axis parallel to the top hat rail length and nearly passes through a rotational point of a shift lever of a switching device. A carrier rail on a second lever arm is parallel to the top hat rail length, the shift lever engaging the carrier rail to the side of the second lever arm. When the slider is displaced, the rocker lever flips simultaneously activate the shift lever. In a remote drive assembly, two remote drives are disposed adjacent to one another on a top hat rail with a locking mechanism. Alternatively, individually controlled actuators act on first and second legs of a T-shaped rocker switch.
