The invention relates to a rotating actuator/pressure actuator () comprising a ring-shaped rotary transducer () consisting of an inner ring and a rotary ring with a handle () and which can rotate around the inner ring about an axis (z) and which is displaceably arranged in a linear manner along the axis (Z) in relation to a housing (), in addition to an inner part (touchpad) which is arranged in an inner area () of the ring-shaped rotary transducer () and which is displaceable in a linear manner along the axis (z) together with the ring-shaped rotary transducer () in relation to the housing (). Linear displacement of the handle () and/or inner part (touchpad) triggers a push-button function. According to the invention, the rotary transducer () and inner part (touchpad) are arranged in a pan-shaped guide element () which is arranged in a linear displaceable manner along the axis (z) in the housing; the inner ring of the rotary transducer () is rotationally fixed in the guide element (); the rotary transducer () and the inner par (touchpad) are connected to the guide element () in such a way that they are not displaceable along the axis (z) and the guide element () acts upon the push button ().
