SPLIT-AXIS POWER STRUT
A power strut assembly for raising and lowering a panel of an automotive vehicle includes a strut housing defining two parallel axes, i.e. a motor rotary axis and a spindle rotary axis. A drive motor disposed in the strut housing has an output shaft rotatable by the drive motor about the motor rotary axis. A drive spindle with a threaded section at least partially disposed in the strut housing is rotatable about the spindle rotary axis to move a spindle nut on the threaded section of the drive spindle. A motor-spindle transmission for transmitting a rotation of the output shaft to the drive spindle includes a motor wheel secured to the output shaft and a spindle wheel rigidly coupled to the drive spindle. The motor wheel and the spindle wheel extend in a common plane of rotation.
