Abstract
A shift gate selector for an automated transmission of a motor vehicle comprises a selector rod (1) and first and second electromagnetic actuators (M1, M2) made as 2-position magnets, in particular bistable position magnets, which are actively connected to the selector rod (1) and are arranged in such a manner that depending on the combination of the positions of the actuators (M1, M2), one of four possible selection positions is obtained, each corresponding to a gate (W1, W2, W3, W4) to be selected.

A shift gate selector for an automated transmission of a motor vehicle, the shift gate selector comprising:
- a selector rod (1), and
- first and second electromagnetic actuators (M1, M2) each being a bistable position magnet actively connected to the selector rod (1), the first and the second actuators (M1, M2) being arranged such that depending on a combination of positions of the first and the second actuators (M1, M2) one of four possible selection positions is obtained, and
- each one of the four possible selection positions corresponding to a gate (W1, W2, W3, W4) to be selected.
A shift gate selector for an automated transmission of a motor vehicle, the shift gate selector comprising a selector rod (1) having two ends, and first and second bistable position magnets (M1, M2), each being actively respectively connected to the selector rod (1) by a first and a second push-rod (6, 8) and arranged such that the selector rod (1) being positioned in one of four gates (W1, W2, W3, W4) depending on specific combinations of actuator positions of the first and the second actuators (M1, M2).
