The inventive device also comprises a drive device which generates a drive signal that is transmitted to the actuating device.
Claims44
A torque transfer device comprising at least one first clutch device which has at least one release mechanism, at least one actuating device and at least one drive device, wherein
- the release mechanism can be shifted into different shift positions;
- the drive device generates at least one drive signal which is transferred to the actuating device;
- the actuating device under predetermined conditions generates in dependence on the drive signal an actuating signal which is transferred to the release mechanism and under first predetermined conditions causes the release mechanism to be shifted into a different shift position, and under second predetermined conditions causes the release mechanism to be held in a predetermined shift position;
- and
- a first overall elasticity of the actuating device and/or a second overall elasticity of the drive device and/or a third overall elasticity of a unit comprising the actuating device and drive device is at least 50% of a fourth overall elasticity of the release mechanism.

- the release mechanism can be shifted into different shift positions;
- the drive device generates at least one drive signal which is transferred to the actuating device;
- the actuating device under predetermined conditions generates in dependence on the drive signal an actuating signal which is transferred to the release mechanism and under first predetermined conditions causes the release mechanism to be shifted into a different shift position, and under second predetermined conditions causes the release mechanism to be held in a predetermined shift position;
- and
- inside at least one of the actuating device and drive device there is at least a first component part or at least an elastic device arranged at least in part with a first elasticity thereof being at least 120% of a second elasticity of at least one adjoining second component part which is different from the first.
