POWERISE - Automatic Lid Drive Systems

From Component Manufacturer to System Supplier
Trunk lids have come a long way. The high level of comfort for opening and closing trunk lids or tailgates is increasingly enhanced by automatic lid drives.
For this market segment, Stabilus did not only develop the optimum drive technology for lid drives; as a system supplier, it also assumed the responsibility for the overall function of automatic lid drive systems.
The harmonious interaction of linkage, weight equalization, and electric and electronic components that are suitably coordinated are the basis for the following functions:
- Automatic opening/closing/stopping
- programmable intermediate position
- External force recognition
Lid drives from Stabilus offer a high level of comfort and safety for opening and closing
With the POWERISE systems from Stabilus, the trunk will open by remote control within seconds. Pressing the remote control again will close it. The rest will happen automatically, safely and reliably.
And, the lid can be stopped in any intermediate position.
Integrated in the POWERISE drives is a sensor system that reliably eliminates safety risks due to improper operation or use.
Lid drives from Stabilus offer the right solution for any application
With this philosophy, Stabilus has brought numerous technological approaches to series introduction.
In our studies on weight, installation size, and noise optimization, we also focus on the modular concept. The consistent use of as many common parts as possible will ensure quality and financial advantages.
Our project experience, as well as our thorough pre-series development, are the reason for our superior competence in this application segment.
Please, take notice that our electric motor drive systems are not used for backfitting. Only serial shored drive systems are possible to change. In this case, please contact your responsible garage.
Opening and closing of lids with the push of a button. Stabilus has been providing customized solutions ever since the market segment of automatic lid drives emerged.
Current Stabilus Drive Unit Variants:

POWERISE spindle drives are used for single sided or double sided application. They are modular systems based on various standard components. The mechanical spring intergrated into the spindle drive is the key element of the overall system that provides the desired functions - including comfortable manual operation.

Optimised pitch and surface of the spindle make for an almost silent movement. Stabilus offers the spindle drive as compact axial parallel design or as slim co-axial version.

Electromechanical POWERISE drive unit for door closing. Bowdencable system and integrated DORSTOP (steppless doorcheck) controle the movement.

This electromechanical drive opens the lid with gas springs, closing is done by a single sided bowdencable system based on the gas springs. Invisible and noiseless integrated system.

Electromechanical drive with double sided opening and closing system based on push-/pull cable system. Package situation similar to gas spring integration. No terminal reactions of the drive. Optimum bodyshelf neutrality.

Single sided direct drive with integrated clutch. Force transfer to hinge via push rod. Lid weight compensation as well as supported movement by gas springs.
Please, take notice that our electric motor drive systems are not used for backfitting. Only serial shored drive systems are possible to change. In this case, please contact your responsible garage.

Spindle drives from Stabilus ensure that car lids open and close automatically.
What’s long been a given with elevator or supermarket doors has since hit the automobile industry. At the touch of a button or approach with a key, the trunk lid opens itself. This convenient feature has rapidly developed thanks to modern spindle drives.
Stabilus has long established itself as a leader in innovation in the area of spindle drives.
Spindle drives from Stabilus represent the ideal basis for a modular design and platform strategy. The number of common parts runs high, thus opening up the possibility for multiple uses for spindle drives. Consequently, the use of Stabilus spindle drives saves costs and significantly contributes to optimized efficiency.
Spindle drive technology has been tested in various applications, although the specific spindle drive design for tailgates is completely new. Due to the additional integrated spring the spindle drive becomes a complete system for overall function, including comfortable manual operation. In addition to that, optimized spindle pitches and surfaces guarantee an almost silent motion when the trunk opens and closes.
Stabilus is growing in the area of lid motors; it is expanding its market share; and is continuing to fulfill its mission:
