Abstract
An actuating mechanism for a clutch actuator includes: an actuating element which is designed to be acted on by an actuating force and thereby displaced in an actuation direction, a transmitting element which is designed to carry out a displacement in the actuation direction, wherein a tensioning element is provided between the actuating element and the transmitting element. The tensioning element is designed to generate, for the transmission of the actuating force to the transmitting element, a clamping pressure force which generates a friction force for the transmission of the actuating force. The friction force is configured so as to be capable of transmitting a maximum actuating force.
Claims14
An actuating mechanism for a clutch actuator, comprising:
- an actuating element configured to be loaded with an actuating force and, as a result, to be displaced in an actuating direction;
- a transmission element configured to carry out a displacement in the actuating direction;
- and
- a tensioning element provided adjacent to the actuating element and the transmission element, which tensioning element is configured as a spring which applies a tensioning pressing force in order to transmit the actuating force to the transmission element, wherein
- the tensioning pressing force generates a frictional force for transmission of the actuating force,
- the tensioning element is configured so that the frictional force is capable of transmitting a maximum actuating force, and
- the spring has a closed configuration as a ring configured to apply the tensioning pressing force over the full circumference between the transmission element and the actuating element.
