The invention relates to a rotating regulating device, especially for a valve comprising a pivotable or rotatable valve body. Said device comprises at least one actuating device for rotating a regulating element which can be connected to the valve body in a moveable manner. The aim of the invention is to improve one such rotating regulating device in such a way that in its precise and reproducible, and can be especially automatically actuated. In order to achieve this, the regulating element is a rotating collar which is rotationally positioned in relation to a bearing collar, and the actuating device comprises at least one mechanism which converts a linear movement into a rotational movement.

The invention claimed is: 1. A rotary adjusting device comprising: an operating element coupled to an electro motor and operable to linearly translate in response to rotation of said electro motor; an adjusting element coupled to said operating element, wherein said adjusting element comprises a rotary sleeve mounted so that it can rotate relative to a bearing sleeve; at least one transmission adapted to translate a linear motion into a rotary motion, wherein the rotary sleeve and the bearing sleeve each have at least one guide slot in their circumferential surfaces, one of which runs essentially in a straight line and the other essentially diagonally to the longitudinal direction of the sleeves; and a meshing element, such as a meshing pin, which engages both slots and runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rotary adjusting device. 2. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising ball and/or roller bearings between the rotary sleeve and the bearing sleeve. 3. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the guide slots in the rotary sleeve and bearing sleeve are arranged facing each other in the circumferential surfaces of the rotary sleeve and bearing sleeve. 4. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 3, wherein the guide slots are formed in pairs in the rotary sleeve and guide sleeve, and each pair of guide slots in the respective sleeve lie diametrically opposite each other in the circumferential surfaces. 5. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 4, wherein the guide slots are essentially the same length when projected on the longitudinal direction of the sleeves. 6. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 5, wherein the guide slots run in a spiral pattern in the rotary sleeve. 7. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the meshing pin has two end sections, both of which engage the guide slots, which lie opposite each other, in both the rotary sleeve and the bearing sleeve. 8. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 7, wherein the meshing pin is encircled by ball and/or rotary bearings in the area of the guide slots. 9. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the meshing pin is held essentially in its middle section, so that it cannot turn, in a feed element which is mounted so that it can be moved along a longitudinal bore in the rotary sleeve. 10. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 9, wherein the feed element and longitudinal bore have at least in part a circular cross section. 11. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 10, wherein the feed element can be removably connected to an activating element of an actuator device. 12. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 11, wherein the bearing sleeve comprises a ring flange extending outward radially on at least one attaching end, which can be removably connected to a connecting end of the actuator device. 13. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 12, wherein opposite the attaching end, a closing ring with a ring flange, which extends outward radially, is removably attached to the bearing sleeve. 14. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 13, wherein between the rotary sleeve and the closing ring, there is at least one thrust bearing to axially fix the rotary sleeve relative to the bearing sleeve. 15. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 14, further comprising at least one thrust bearing between the ring flange of the bearing sleeve and the rotary sleeve, and/or between the connecting end of the actuator device and the rotary sleeve. 16. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 15, wherein the meshing pin and/or the feed element is subjected to force in the direction of the ring flange of the bearing sleeve. 17. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 16, further comprising at least one spring element located in or on the rotary adjusting device to apply force. 18. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 17, wherein the spring element is located and operates between the ring flange and the meshing pin. 19. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 18, further comprising a spring bearing sleeve placed in the longitudinal direction on the bearing sleeve, which spring bearing sleeve is engaged by the ends of the meshing pin, and which has a terminating flange which extends outward radially, between which terminating flange and the ring flange of the closing ring there is a compression spring as spring element. 20. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 19, wherein the terminating flange is in contact with the ring flange of the bearing sleeve in one end position of the spring bearing sleeve. 21. The rotary adjusting device in accordance with claim 20, wherein the spring bearing sleeve has two longitudinal slots which are open in the direction of the terminating flange, which are engaged by the ends of the meshing pin and which is in contact with the slot ends which are opposite the terminating flange. 22. A rotary adjusting device comprising: an electro motor; an operating element coupled to said electro motor and operable to linearly translate in response to rotation of said electro motor; an adjusting element coupled to said operating element and operable to rotate in response to linear translation of said operating element; a transmission coupled to said operating element and said adjusting element, wherein said transmission is operable to convert linear translation of said operating element into rotation of said adjusting element, wherein said transmission further comprises: a pin coupled to said operating element and arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said operating element; and a first slot disposed in a rotary sleeve of said adjusting element, wherein said slot runs diagonally to the longitudinal axis of said adjusting element, wherein said pin is engaged with said first slot. 23.
