Abstract

In order to produce a window-actuator drive having assembly and service friendliness, particularly by providing a design which enables the gearbox unit to be easily exchanged, the drive is designed as two functionally separate units. A gear housing, a worm gear, and a housing cover which is sealed off from them both makes up a first unit. A cable housing with a cable pulley makes up a second unit. The subassemblies of the first and second unit can be assembled by means of notched, snap-fit connections.
