The invention relates to an operating device, particularly for a gear-changing transmission operated by shift-by-wire. The operating device comprises an operating element (1), which is rotatably or pivotally supported in a bearing point (3, 4) and has a position sensor device (9), and also a device for producing force feedback. The force feedback device comprises an adjustable counterforce element (2) acting on the operating element (1), wherein the counterforce element (2) comprises a fluid having controllably variable viscosity. According to the invention, the operating device is characterized in that the counterforce element (2) is produced by a bearing gap (5) of the bearing point (3, 4) of the operating element (1), said gap being filled with the fluid. The invention enables the space-saving integration of the counterforce element of a force feedback device into the joint, for example of an operating lever. With the invention, the cost, design complexity, and installation space requirement for an operating device having force feedback can be significantly reduced. Realistic emulation of the haptics of a mechanical operating lever is possible. |
