Abstract
An adjusting device for controlling the position of a gas lever in a motor vehicle in cooperation with a speed controlling servo-mechanism arranged in the vehicle for delivering a control signal, comprises an electromotor energized by the control signal, a shaft supported on a support for rotation about its axis and for movement along its axis, an electromagnetic coupling having a disc-shaped armature rotatably supported on the shaft and an electromagnetic member fixedly connected to the shaft. The electromagnetic member of the coupling is energized by the control signal to engage with the armature. A first reduction gear is arranged between the electromotor and the armature. A locking arm is pivotably supported on the support and linked at its free end to the gas lever and, at its other end, to the second reduction gear.
