Purpose and function in the vehicle

The actuator with a position sensor operates within the tailgate, controlling its movement and position during opening and closing. Its placement on the rear right side of the body ensures that this component works in conjunction with other tailgate lifting system parts, providing:

• correct guidance of the tailgate throughout its entire range of motion,
• stable maintenance of the set position,
• consistent operation with the vehicle's control electronics.

Thanks to the integrated position sensor, the control system receives accurate information about the current setting of the tailgate, which is essential for both the comfort of operation and the safety of using the luggage compartment.

Compatibility with Mercedes W164

The presented actuator has been developed with the specific body geometry and rear construction of the Mercedes W164 series in mind. Proper matching of the mounts and operating characteristics to this model allows for:

• maintaining the factory logic of the tailgate operation,
• proper cooperation with the original control system,
• installation in the location provided by the manufacturer, without interfering with the body structure.

For the user, this means the ability to restore the correct operation of the tailgate after a failure or wear of the previous component, while maintaining the standards intended for this generation of the vehicle.

Component characteristics and advantages of use

The actuator with a tailgate position sensor belongs to the group of elements responsible for the comfortable operation of the rear part of the body. The use of this component allows for:

• maintaining predictable, smooth tailgate movement,
