An actuating drive with an electric motor that has a metallic electric motor housing, a shaft, an armature, collector, brushes, and a brush holder plate, and control electronics. Electronic and electric components are connected to a printed circuit board and the printed circuit board protrudes at right angles to the shaft and into a cross section of the electric motor housing. Outside the electric motor housing, the electronic and electric components are protected by a control electronics housing. Radio interference suppression means, for example, can be disposed inside the actuating drive. The system includes a printed circuit board with a strip conductor and a contact spring that leads from the strip conductor and this contact spring protrudes into the electric motor housing, wherein a resilient free end of the spring rests against the electric motor housing producing an electrical contact.
