Key actuating device
The integration of position coding elements and sensors in key-operating devices allows for efficient and accurate determination of the rotational position, improving convenience and reducing energy consumption by enabling an idle state or continuous active mode, thus addressing the inefficiencies of existing systems.

Abstract
A key operating device for turning a key of a lock comprises a base body, an engagement element that can be brought into engagement with a key, a manually rotatable operating wheel for rotating the engagement element, an electromechanical drive for rotating the engagement element, a control device for the drive, a plurality of position coding elements, and a position sensor for detecting the position coding elements and transmitting corresponding detection signals to the control device. The control device is designed to determine a rotational position of the operating wheel based on the detection signals in an active state. When the key operating device is not actuated, it assumes a rest state with lower energy consumption. It can be converted to the active state by transmitting a detection signal.
