Control device

A control device for controlling a clutch device disposed on a path along which a driving force output from a prime mover is transmitted, the clutch device being configured to connect or disconnect transmission of the driving force, the control device comprising:

• a connecting member connected to a release operation member of the clutch device;
• an electric actuator connected to the connecting member, the electric actuator being configured to displace the release operation member through the connecting member;
• a control unit configured to displace the release operation member by driving the electric actuator so as to change a clutch capacity of the clutch device;
• a first sensor configured to detect an operation amount of the electric actuator with respect to the connecting member;
• and
• a second sensor configured to detect a displacement amount of the release operation member,
• wherein the control unit is configured to generate characteristic information regarding the clutch capacity in advance, and to perform a control to change the clutch capacity based on the generated characteristic information,
• the characteristic information is generated based on each detection result of the first sensor and the second sensor at time of driving the electric actuator to change the displacement amount of the release operation member,
• a cable is provided between the release operation member and the electric actuator, the cable including an outer cable and an inner cable inserted through the outer cable,
• the inner cable is the connecting member, and
• an end portion of the outer cable on a side closer to the release operation member is supported by a catcher through an elastic member.
