Abstract

An angular position change of the linearly driven drive system is proportional to its particular running time. In the process there is determined a desired value of the running time of the drive system belonging to a desired-value angular position (.alpha..sub.S), the drive system is thereupon started and its running time is measured and, when a measured value of the running time is equal to the determined desired value of said running time, the drive system is stopped. By this process the dependability of the drive system is improved and the costs of the latter are reduced.
