Abstract
A method of regulating the position of a clutch actuator in a vehicle employs the concept of adapting the servo-loop parameters of a position controller of the clutch to different operating conditions of the vehicle, as well as the concept of applying and continuously adapting a bias current of the actuator motor in order to avoid or minimize the incidence of a hunting or after-regulation behavior of the control loop and to thereby minimize the energy consumption of the actuator motor.
