A positioning device for an output component for automatically shifting gears of a motor vehicle transmission that undergoes two types of movements comprises a plurality of drives. The movement of each drive can be transmitted via a transmission mechanism to the output component. A first drive causes the output component to undergo movement of a first type, and a second drive causes the output component to undergo movement of a second type. The first drive is connected to a sliding element. The sliding element is axially fixed, but movable in the circumferential direction relative to the output component. The second drive is rotatably fixed, but axially movable output component.

An actuator for automated operation of a friction clutch includes a drive that is connected with an input part of a gearing and an output part of the gearing that is movable into operative connection via a transmission member with a disengagement bearing of the friction clutch. The transmission element has a pitch region rotatable for driving an engagement element into force-applying contact with a disengagement bearing for displacing the disengaging bearing and thereby disengaging the clutch.
