Actuation mechanism, in particular for a clutch actuator

An actuation mechanism for a clutch, comprising:

• an actuation element configured to be loaded with an actuation force and to be displaced by way of the actuation force in an actuation direction;
• a transmission element configured to carry out a displacement in the actuation direction;
• a compensation mechanism configured to apply a reinforcing pressing force for a frictionally locking transmission of the actuation force between the transmission element and the actuation element when the actuation force is applied to the actuation element, wherein
• the compensation mechanism comprises a friction element and a counter-face which are configured to bring about the reinforcing pressing force via a frictionally locking connection when the actuation force is applied,
• the friction element and the counter-face are configured to bring about the reinforcing pressing force by way of a supporting force resulting from a deflection of the actuation force,
• the reinforcing pressing force has at least the magnitude of the supporting force;
• and
• a tensioning element between the actuation element and the transmission element, which tensioning element is configured to generate a tensioning pressing force which is configured so as to improve the frictionally locking transmission of the actuation force.
