Abstract
A shift fork actuator includes an actuator housing, a drive motor provided in the actuator housing, and a linear drive driven by the drive motor. The linear drive includes a drive shaft, a driven drive spindle integral with the drive shaft, and an actuating element. The actuating element is linearly moveable and linearly guided, coupled to the driven drive spindle, and rotationally fixed relative to the actuator housing. The actuating element includes a coupler arranged for releasably coupling to a shift fork.
Claims20
