Abstract
An actuator mounting, in particular, a clutch or brake mounting for a vehicle, includes a mounting housing (3) with an attachment shell (2) for attaching the mounting to a handlebar or a similar steering element, a hand lever (8) supported to rotate on the mounting housing (3), and a mechanical or hydraulic force transmission device arranged on the mounting housing (3). The actuator mounting includes a carrier plate (9) supported on the rotational bearing (7) in common with the hand lever (8) as an intermediate transmission element with multiple functions. The carrier plate (9) has contact points (16, 32, 34) for applying force to or tensioning the hand lever (8), the force transmission device, and the mounting housing stop (35).

Actuator mounting for a clutch or brake for a vehicle comprising:
- a mounting housing with an attachment for attaching the mounting to a handlebar or steering element, with the mounting housing including a mounting housing stop;
- a hand lever rotatably supported on a rotational bearing on the mounting housing;
- a mechanical or hydraulic force transmission device arranged on the mounting housing;
- a carrier plate rotatably supported on the rotational bearing, wherein the carrier plate has a first contact point for applying force or tension on the force transmission device, a second contact point for applying force or tension on the hand lever, and a third contact point for applying force or tension on the mounting housing stop;
- a stop formation for applying force on the housing stop, with the housing stop acting as a counter stop for the stop formation on the mounting housing;
- and
- fracture points between the stop formation and the hand lever, with breakage occurring at the fracture points in an overload due to the rotation of the hand lever relative to the mounting housing.
