Abstract
Disclosed herein is a dual clutch actuator including: a housing; a stroke controller disposed in the housing, and configured to actuate a clutch by linearly moving a pushrod; a power generation unit configured to generate driving power to operate the stroke controller; and a stroke return unit disposed between the housing and the stroke controller so as to elastically support the stroke controller, and configured to return the linearly moved pushrod to the original position, when the operation of the clutch is released. According to this structure, the dual clutch actuator can return the pushrod to the original position without an operation of a separate actuator, when removing a clutch connection.
