Abstract: A device for determining a torque in a drivetrain of an at least partially electrically operated motor vehicle is provided, having a first electric motor with a first rotor rotatably mounted in at least two rolling bearings spaced in the axial direction. The first rotor is operatively connected to at least a first vehicle wheel to be driven by the first electric motor. The first rolling bearing has a first angular position sensor and the second rolling bearing has a second angular position sensor, the sensors each generating a signal that represents the angular position of the first rotor at the particular bearing point. The signals are transmitted to a vehicle controller, in which the torque of the first electric motor applied to the first rotor is determined from the difference between the angular positions and is provided to control the motor vehicle.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for diagnosing a malfunction in a clutch actuator of a motor vehicle, the actual position of the clutch actuator is measured by a position sensor. Simultaneously, an estimated position of the clutch actuator is calculated by an emulation unit that emulates the function of the clutch actuator. Malfunctions of the clutch-actuator are diagnosed by comparing the actual, measured position to the estimated position.
