Abstract
An actuator for a mobility device clutch includes an electric motor, a roto-linear movement conversion mechanism coupled to the electric motor, a hydraulic unit in the form of an emitter cylinder able to actuate the clutch, and a cam system able to slide linearly in a direction of movement. The cam system includes at least one cam track in connection with the roto-linear movement conversion mechanism in order to generate a thrust force toward the hydraulic unit. The cam track includes at least one first portion and one second portion, the first portion being a docking portion separate from the second portion that is a travel portion, and these two portions having a different profile.
