Actuator device for a friction clutch

1. The actuator device for a friction clutch, the device comprising:

a push lever arm for applying a force on the friction clutch having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the push lever arm including first slots at the first end and second slots between the first end and the second end;

a bearing arranged on the push lever arm having pins configured to be received in the second slots;

a push ring arranged on the push lever arm for contacting the friction clutch, the push ring being journaled by the bearing such that the push ring is rotatable relative to the push lever arm about a rotation axis;

a drive unit connected to the push lever arm with a nut having pins configured to be received in the first slots for movement of the push lever arm in a push lever arm movement direction; and

wherein the push ring and the bearing are pivotally arranged in the second slots of the push lever arm such that the push ring and the bearing are pivotable relative to the push lever arm about a push ring pivot axis, and

wherein the push ring and the bearing are displaceably arranged in the second slots of push lever arm allowing adjustment of the position of the push ring pivot axis relative to the push lever arm, the push ring and the bearing being displaceable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the push ring pivot axis and the push lever arm movement direction.

2. The actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation axis and the push ring pivot axis are arranged substantially perpendicular relative to each other.

3. The actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein the push lever arm movement direction is substantially perpendicular to the push ring pivot axis.

4. The actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein the push lever arm is pivotally connected to the drive unit such that the push lever arm is pivotable relative to the drive unit about a drive unit pivot axis.

5. The actuator device according to claim 4 , wherein the push ring pivot axis and the drive unit pivot axis are arranged substantially in parallel to each other.

6. The actuator device according to claim 4 , wherein the drive unit comprises a motor and a linear actuator mechanism driven by the motor, the linear actuator mechanism having a threaded rod and the nut is arranged on the threaded rod and wherein the push lever arm is pivotally connected to the nut of the linear actuator mechanism for pivoting about the drive unit pivot axis.

7. The actuator device according to claim 4 , wherein the push lever arm is pivotally connected to a fix point such that the push lever arm is pivotable relative to the fix point about a fix point pivot axis and wherein the push ring pivot axis is arranged between the drive unit pivot axis and the fix point pivot axis.
