Abstract
An actuator device (2) for actuating at least one foot pedal (P) of a motor vehicle has at least one actuating element (8), whereby, for applying force to the foot pedal (P), said actuating element is shifted by means of a positioning mechanism (10) between an application position and a released position. It is provided that the positioning mechanism (10) is drivable with a positioning force (SF), by means of inertial means (such as an inertial mass).
Claims20
An actuator device for actuating at least one foot pedal of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an actuator for applying force to the foot pedal;
- and
- a linkage for shifting the actuator between an application position and a released position;
- wherein the linkage is drivable with an inertial mass,
- wherein the inertial mass is a flywheel which is drivable around an axis.
An actuator device for actuating at least one foot pedal of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an actuator for applying force to the foot pedal, and
- a linkage for shifting the actuator between an application position and a released position;
- wherein the linkage is drivable with an inertial mass,
- wherein the inertial mass functions as part of a redundant emergency positioning drive by which the linkage can be driven, in addition to the drivability of said linkage by a standard drive.
An actuator device for actuating at least one foot pedal of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an actuator for applying force to the foot pedal;
- a linkage for shifting the actuator between an application position and a released position;
- an inertial mass connected to the linkage;
- and
- a motor attached to the inertial mass.
