The invention relates to a control device with a stator unit fastened via a stator connection to a support body, and a rotor unit rotatable about the stator unit. The rotatability of the rotor unit about the stator unit can be influenced in a targeted manner by means of a braking device. For its rotatability about the stator unit, the rotor unit is mounted on the support body by means of at least one bearing unit of a bearing device, so that a force acting on the rotor unit from radially outside can be diverted via the bearing unit into the support body, bypassing the stator unit and the stator connection.

A rotary actuator assembly includes a rotary actuator having a rotary body on a capacitively-sensing detection surface of the touch panel. A sensor ring coupled to the rotary body includes on a first ring surface includes alternately arranged contact surfaces and insulating surfaces and on a second ring surface includes a circumferential metal surface that is electrically connected to the contact surfaces. A sliding contact includes a contact pad and a contact spring connected together. The contact pad forms an electrical contact point fixed at a position of the detection surface. The contact spring contacts the contact surfaces and the insulating surfaces in alternation as the sensor ring rotates with rotation of the rotary body whereby a variable electrical signal is generated at the contact point. The electrical signal is detectable by the touch panel and the touch panel includes a mutual capacitance touch sensor assembly.
