Structure and inner electrical connection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The servomotor for swirl flap adjustment is a direct current motor. The position sensor is a hall effect sensor. The hall effect sensor determines the revolutions of the servomotor. This is used to calculate the position of the swirl flaps.
