Abstract
A method of detecting axial wear and a counterforce gradient of a multiple disc switching element () with position-controlled actuation with an electric motor (), a spur gear stage () and a ball ramp () by one of a hydraulic pressure actuator and an electromagnetic actuator. The method comprises the step of determining, when a vehicle is at a standstill, the axial wear (J) and the counterforce gradient or the rigidity of the system by an overrun adaptation.
