Actuating arrangement

An actuating arrangement for motor vehicles having an engine, a torque transmitting system and a transmission, the actuating arrangement comprising:

• a first means for initiating, discontinuing or regulating the transmission of torque;
• at least one second means for initiating a gear shifting operation within one of a plurality of gear shifting paths;
• a third means for initiating a gear ratio selecting operation between the gear shifting paths;
• at least two actors;
• and
• an electronic control unit operatively connected to the two actors, one of the two actors actuating, in a predetermined manner, two of the first, second and third means for the regulation of the transmission of torque, gear shifting or gear ratio selecting operations and the other of the two actors actuating, in a predetermined manner, one of the first, second and third means for the regulation of the transmission of torque, gear shifting or gear ratio selecting operation, wherein at least one of the actors actuating at least one of the first, second, and third means for the regulation of the transmission of torque is arranged outside of a clutch housing, and wherein further at least one of said second and third means for initiating the gear shifting or gear ratio selecting operations reaches from inside the clutch housing through a wall of the clutch housing into the transmission.

• a third means for initiating a gear ratio selecting operation between the gear shifting paths;
• an actor;
• and
• an electronic control unit operatively connected to the at least one actor to regulate the actuation, in a predetermined manner, of the first means, second means and third means for the regulation of the transmission of torque, gear shifting and gear ratio selecting operations, wherein the actor is arranged outside of a clutch housing, and wherein further at least one of said second and third means for initiating the gear shifting or gear ratio selecting operations reaches from inside the clutch housing through a wall of the clutch housing into the transmission.

An actuating arrangement for motor vehicles having an engine, a torque transmitting system and a transmission, the actuating arrangement comprising:

• a first means for initiating, discontinuing or regulating the transmission of torque;
• at least one shaft being actuatable to select a gear ratio or to shift within a gear shifting gate to one of a plurality of gear shifting paths;
• a second means for the initiation of the shifting operation within the gear shifting paths;
• a third means for the initiation of the gear selecting operation between the gear shifting paths and for engaging the gearing of the transmission;
• at least one actor;
• and
• an electronic control unit operatively connected to the at least one actor, the at least one actor actuating at least two of the first means, second means and third means to regulate the transmission of torque, gear shifting and gear ratio selecting operation, wherein the at least one actor is arranged outside of a clutch housing, and wherein further at least one of said second and third means for initiating the gear shifting or gear ratio selecting operations reaches from inside the clutch housing through a wall of the clutch housing into the transmission.
