Clutch actuating system for road vehicle has driving clutch actuator to operate actuating element and transmission device to transfer actuating element motion onto component moving against clutch

摘要

A clutch actuator (56) like an electric motor moves a plunger (58) linearly that links with a joint to a clutch uncoupling fork (60) itself linked with a joint to the clutch's disengaging bearing (62), which moves linearly at a distance from cup spring tongues (64) to open the clutch fully. An Independent claim is also included for a method for determining the closed position of a clutch as well as its operating force and the temperature of a clutch actuator.
