Abstract
A method of operating a double clutch that is actuated by a hydrostatic actuating system having two clutch actuators assigned to two individual clutches and each clutch actuator including a pressure sensor for sensing the operating pressure of the respective clutch actuator, the method having the step of limiting a total actuating force of the double clutch in the event of a fault using the pressure values sensed by the pressure sensors.
Claims11
A method of operating a double clutch (4) that is actuated by a hydrostatic actuating system (8) that comprises two clutch actuators (5, 6) assigned to two individual clutches (1, 2) where each said actuator comprises a pressure sensor (11, 12) for sensing the operating pressure of the respective clutch actuator (5, 6), the method comprising the step of limiting a total actuating force of the double clutch (4) in the event of a fault using the pressure values sensed by the pressure sensors (11, 12).
