Abstract: A method for ascertaining a biting point of a friction clutch device of a motor vehicle that is actuatable between a disengaged and an engaged position, the friction clutch device having a hydrostatic actuator device with at least one position sensor and at least one pressure force sensor, the friction clutch device being actuated in the disengagement and/or engagement direction, and data are obtained with the help of the at least one position sensor and the at least one pressure force sensor, while based on the obtained data a position force characteristic curve having a first section and a second section is obtained, the first section being approximated with the help of a linear equation and the second section being approximated with the help of a parabolic equation.

Abstract: A method of determining clutch parameters at the initial start of operation of a friction clutch in a motor vehicle comprising the steps of: in a first phase, moving the clutch from an open state into a closed state and into an open state again at a predetermined constant slip of the clutch and determining and storing the position of the clutch during the movement when predetermined clutch torque thresholds are reached; in a second phase, in a first step, determining a touch point, a position hysteresis, and a torque hysteresis from the determined positions; determining a preliminary friction coefficient; determining preliminary form factors; determining a final friction coefficient; and determining final form factors.

Abstract: A method wherein the first and second threshold values of the characteristic are a threshold value of the clutch temperature, or of the speed of rotation at the particular input shaft of the clutch, or of the speed of the engine, or of the slip speed at the clutch, or of the clutch torque hysteresis, or of the oil volume flow in a wet clutch, or of the actuator speed or of the actuator position.
