Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing occasionally occurring vibrations, in particular chatter vibrations of a unit controlled automatically by an actuator, in particular a clutch actuator, on the basis of a target torque assigned to a clutch torque that is to be transmitted, in particular a target clutch torque, in particular a unit located in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between a combustion engine and a transmission, in particular a friction clutch having an actual present clutch torque which is marked by vibrations as a result of occasionally occurring vibrations, wherein from an input signal which is representative of the vibration-marked torque on the basis of a known transfer behavior of the actual present torque vibration components of known form with unknown prefactors are continuously ascertained, a phase-correct correction torque is determined from these, and the target torque is corrected using the latter.
