Abstract
A control device for regulating the engaging process of a separating clutch for motor vehicles for automatically reducing the rpm difference between the driven clutch element and the driving clutch element and/or to regulate the disengaging process of a separating clutch includes a device for detecting the driving rpm and a device for axial adjustment of at least one clutch element of the separating clutch. The device for axial adjustment includes a computer unit, by which the clutch transmission torque can be regulated as a function of a set curve for the driving rpm and/or control or regulation of the clutch transmission torque can be performed in such fashion that the curve of the driving rpm at the beginning of the engagement process is not influenced by a positive contribution of a driving torque and/or control or regulation of the clutch transmission torque and/or a driving torque can be performed in such fashion that the clutch transmission torque is less than the driving torque when the curve of the driving rpm is intended to rise, and vice versa.
