Method for warming-up a pneumatic clutch actuator

Abstract

A method for controlling a pneumatic actuator (1) of a transmission having at least one sealing element (6, 7), arranged between two elements (2, 3) of the clutch actuator (1) that move relative to one another, and within a specifiable operating temperature range in which leakproofness of the clutch actuator (1) is ensured. The clutch actuator (1) is acted upon with compressed air from an air supply system for actuating a shifting and/or starting clutch arranged between a drive aggregate and a transmission. In order to warm up the clutch actuator (1), if a temperature of the clutch actuator (1) is lower then a glass transition temperature of the at least one sealing element (6, 7), the drive aggregate is operated at a higher rotational speed compared to the idling speed of the drive aggregate.
