ADJUSTING DEVICE

Filed:2025-12-05Pub:2026-06-11
Applicant:Stabilus GmbH

The invention relates to an adjusting device ( 10 ) for a vehicle part that is movable relative to a body of a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle door or a vehicle flap, comprising: a housing ( 16 ) arranged on the movable vehicle part or on the body, a drive assembly ( 12 ) having a drive unit ( 14 ), an adjusting element ( 18 ) that is designed to be displaceable, by means of the drive unit ( 14 ), along a displacement axis relative to the drive assembly ( 12 ) and has, at a free end, a joint bearing ( 19 ) designed to be arranged on a body of the vehicle or on the movable vehicle part, wherein the adjusting element ( 18 ) extends through an opening ( 44 ) between a vehicle cavity ( 40 ) and a cavity ( 42 ) of the movable vehicle part that accommodates the adjusting device ( 10 ), a sealing element ( 38 ) that is sealingly arranged on the adjusting element ( 18 ) and is designed to seal the opening According to the invention, the sealing element ( 38 ) has at least a first partial body ( 50 ) and a second partial body ( 54 ) that is connected to the first partial body via an inner body ( 52 ), wherein the first partial body ( 50 ) is designed such that the sealing element ( 38 ) is centerable, at least in a closed position of the movable vehicle part, on the housing ( 16 ) of the adjusting device ( 10 ), and wherein the second partial body ( 54 ) is designed for sealing fastening to the adjusting element ( 28 ).
