Abstract
A gear box actuator (100) for an automated manual transmission system (250) of a vehicle (200a), in particular utility vehicle (200b) includes a body part (105) and a shift fork (120) to actuate a gear box (260) of the automated manual transmission system (250) by pivoting the shift fork (120). The body part (105) includes a pivot section (130) for providing a fixed pivot point (131) for pivotally mounting the shift fork (120). The shift fork (120) includes a bearing surface (125), and the bearing surface (125) of the shift fork (120) and the pivot section (130) of the body part (105) are adapted to provide a sliding contact between each other for pivoting the shift fork (120) relative to the body part (105).
