ABSTRACT:
The present invention is electronically driven locking device for a locking element of a motor vehicle. The device has a motor, a gear wheel including a gear ring, a hub, and an elastic intermediate element, and a control disk. The motor is linked to the gear ring via a worm gear which is arranged to turn the gear. The control disk is linked to the locking element such that when the gear ring is turned, the hub is turned via the intermediate element which in turn engages the locking element to close or open. The intermediate element is arranged to absorb kinetic energy in the device.
