  • Publication number: 20060207371
    Abstract: A gearing actuator, particularly an electromechanical gearing actuator for an automated transmission of a motor vehicle, having at least one driving device for the transmission and a shifting motion in the transmission and one assembly for converting the rotational motion of a driving device to a translational motion of the assembly, which has one spindle and one sliding part movable on the spindle. The spindle (2) is provided with at least one continuation (1) extending in axial direction and mounted for absorbing transverse forces in needle sleeves or ball sleeves (3).

  • Publication number: 20040254040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gearbox (8) for a vehicle (2), comprising a housing (26) and a gear-shifting device which is arranged inside the housing. Said gearbox also comprises an electromechanical actuator (24) having a first electric motor (32) for performing a selection movement of the gear-shifting device, a second electric motor (34) for performing a gear-shifting movement of the gear-shifting device, and a control system (22) for receiving sensor signals, for processing said sensor signals and for transmitting control signals to the electric motors (32, 34). The rotational axis of the first electric motor (32) and the rotational axis of the second electric motor (34) are parallel.
