<p>Clutch actuator control unit (2) for controlling the torque transfer on a power train for a vehicle in which a driving torque is generated by a prime mover (4) and is conveyed downstream via an output shaft (6) from the prime mover to a clutch device (8) comprising a clutch actuator (10), then to an input shaft (12) of a gearbox (14), to an output propeller shaft (16) leading from the gearbox (14) and, via a differential gear (18), to the driveshafts (20) of the vehicle's wheels (22). The clutch actuator control unit (2) comprises a calculation unit (24) adapted to determining a clutch actuator control signal (26) which controls the engagement of the clutch device (8). The calculation unit (24) is also adapted to calculating a maximum torque Tmax which is the largest load tolerated by the power train downstream of the clutch device (8), to determining a torque Tt which is transferable by the clutch device and is less than or equal to said maximum torque Tmax, to determining a clutch actuator control signal (26) appropriate to engaging the clutch device (8) so that the maximum load to which the power train downstream of the clutch device is subject from the torque transmitted by the clutch device will be Tt, and to passing the clutch actuator control signal (26) determined to the clutch actuator (10) to serve as a basis for its control.</p> |
