The invention relates to an actuation device (3) for installing on a vehicle part (2), in particular in the form of a door or a hatch, having an electric switch means (30) with at least one switch element (31) for initiating a vehicle function and having a housing unit (10) with at least one first and second housing section (11, 12), wherein the second housing section (12) can be moved from a rest position (I) into an actuation position (II) at least in some regions relative to the first housing section (11) in order to actuate the switch element (31). The invention additionally relates to a vehicle (1) and to an actuation method (100).

An electric linear actuator has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis. A spindle is provided in the housing and extends along the longitudinal axis. A rod is coaxially coupled to the spindle and extends from a proximal end located in the housing to a distal end located outside the housing. The rod is movable along the longitudinal axis in response to rotation of the spindle. A circuit board is located in the housing adjacent the proximal end of the rod. The circuit board includes a linear inductive sensor having a linear axis oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis. The linear inductive sensor senses an actual position of the proximal end of the rod.

A throttle grip device includes an interlocking member able to rotate in conjunction with a throttle grip and a case. The interlocking member is rotatably held by the case. The throttle grip device includes a cover member covering an opening side end portion of the case. The cover member has an opening portion allowing a surface end portion having an engaged portion of the interlocking member to face the throttle grip. The throttle grip device includes a magnetic sensor capable of detecting a rotation angle of the throttle grip by detecting a rotation angle of the interlocking member. A drive source of a vehicle is controllable according to the rotation angle of the throttle grip detected by the magnetic sensor. The interlocking member includes a cylindrical portion extending to a bottom side end portion of the case.

A sleeve or case for a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet or other types of hand-held device or mobile smart device, has a sleeve part for at least partially enclosing the mobile device and an input device arranged in the sleeve part for controlling the mobile device which can be received in the sleeve part. The input device includes a movable control element and a magnetorheological brake. Any movement of the control element can be selectively damped by way of the magnetorheological brake.

A balancing assembly with a good tactile feel. The balancing assembly comprises a lower fixing plate (1),an upper fixing plate (2) and a balancing frame (3) arranged between the upper fixing plate (2) and the lower fixing plate (1),wherein a flexible plate (4) is arranged on the upper fixing plate (2). The balancing assembly with a good tactile feel achieves a good pressing sensation while also achieving smooth pressing, thereby providing a good user experience.

A pedal device includes a pedal and a reaction force generation mechanism. The reaction force generation mechanism includes a resilient device and a first holder. The first holder contacts the resilient device from one side, which is a side where the pedal is placed. The first holder has a primary disengagement stopper. The reaction force generation mechanism includes a second holder that contacts the resilient device from another side, which is opposite to the one side. The second holder has a secondary disengagement stopper. In a non-depressed state of the pedal, the pedal limits movement of the first holder toward the one side. When the pedal no longer limits and thus releases the movement of the first holder, the secondary disengagement stopper limits the movement of the first holder relative to the second holder beyond a predetermined limit toward the one side.

A pedal emulator for a vehicle, having a rotational axis, a pedal lever that can be rotated about the rotational axis, and a force generation unit for exerting a counterforce on the pedal lever via at least one coupling element of the force generation unit that is mechanically coupled to the pedal lever. The counterforce acting in the opposite direction to an actuation force exerted on the pedal lever. The force generation unit can be designed such that a curve of the counterforce along a pedal path of the pedal lever is in the form of a non-linear curve in a pedal path-counterforce diagram.
