An operating apparatus for a vehicle component comprises an operating panel () as well as an electric motor () mechanically coupled thereto with an unbalance mass. A detector () can capture the contact of the operating panel () by a user. A sensor () is provided in order to set exactly the number of revolutions of the electric motor in response to the contact of the operating panel by a user. The number of revolutions of the rotor is determined via this sensor.

A device for determining an absolute angle of rotation of a rotational axis has a first measuring device for measuring an angle of rotation in a limited first measuring range and a second measuring device for determining an absolute angle range. The second measuring device transforms a rotation of the rotational axis into a linear shift.
