The invention relates to an actuating device for actuating a clutch and/or a transmission of a motor vehicle, including a pump having two fluid connections and including a movable actuating element fluidically connected to a first fluid connection of the pump, wherein the pump is designed such that in a first pump position, in which the pump is driven in a first direction of rotation, for extending the actuating element the pump conveys a pressure fluid in a first conveying direction from a second fluid connection to the first fluid connection, wherein the pump is configured as a variable displacement pump which is reversible with regard to the conveying direction of the pump, wherein the pump is designed such that after it has been moved into a second pump position, in which the pump is driven in the first direction of rotation, for retracting the actuating element the pump conveys a pressure fluid in a second conveying direction, opposite the first conveying direction, from the first fluid connection to the second fluid connection. The invention further relates to a clutch and to a transmission system having such an actuating device.
An actuating device for actuating at least one of a clutch or a transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising a pump having first and second fluid connections and a displaceable actuating element connected in a fluid-conducting fashion to the first fluid connection of the pump, with the pump being operable in a first pump setting, in which it is driven in a first direction of rotation, such that a pressure fluid is conveyed in a first conveying direction from the second fluid connection to the first fluid connection to extend an actuating element, the pump is embodied with regards to a direction of conveyance as a reversible displacement pump, with the displacement pump being operable in a second pump setting in which it is driven in the first direction of rotation, such that the pressure fluid is conveyed in a second conveying direction, opposite the first conveying direction, from the first fluid connection to the second fluid connection (9) to retract the actuating element.
