A piston for a gear-change selector module of a gearshift has a piston body, at least one sealing element, and a cap which is attached to the piston body by means of a clip connection. Furthermore, the sealing element is here attached to the piston body by means of the cap. Also a gear-change selector module with a piston, and a method for mounting a piston, are provided.
1. A piston for a gear-change selector module of a gearshift, comprising:
a piston body; and
at least one sealing element,
wherein the piston has a cap which is attached to the piston body by a play-free clip connection, and
wherein the at least one sealing element is attached to the piston body by the cap such that the at least one sealing element is fixed.
2. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is part of a piston end face of the piston which can be pressurized with a working fluid, and the cap can be attached to the piston body in an axial direction by the play-free clip connection.
3. The piston according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sealing element includes at least one of an inner sealing element received in an inner receiver of the piston body and an outer sealing element received in an outer receiver of the piston body.
4. The piston according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element is attached to the piston body by the cap.
5. The piston according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the inner receiver is designed to be complementary to the inner sealing element in an unloaded state and the outer receiver is designed to be complementary to the outer sealing element in the unloaded state.
6. The piston according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the inner receiver and the outer receiver has no undercut in which the inner or outer sealing element engages in a radial direction.
7. The piston according to claim 5 , wherein the piston body is designed such that, viewed in an axial direction, at least one of the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element is not concealed by the piston body.
8. A gear-change selector module for a gearshift of a motor vehicle, wherein the gear-change selector module comprises at least one, piston according to claim 1 .
9. A method for mounting a piston of a gear-change selector module, wherein the piston has a piston body, a cap, and at least one of an inner sealing element and an outer sealing element, the method comprising:
a) insertion of at least one of the inner sealing element into an inner receiver of the piston body in the axial direction and the outer sealing element into an outer receiver of the piston body in the axial direction, and
b) fixing of the cap to the piston body by a play-free clip connection.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein on insertion of the at least one of the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element in step a), the at least one of the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element is not stretched.
11. The piston according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one sealing element is includes at least one of an inner sealing element received in an inner receiver of the piston body and an outer sealing element which is received in an outer receiver of the piston body.
12. The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the inner receiver is designed to be complementary to the inner sealing element in an unloaded state and the outer receiver is designed to be complementary to the outer sealing element in the unloaded state.
13. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the piston body is designed such that, viewed in an axial direction, at least one of the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element is not concealed by the piston body.
