and the end position control of the force is activated this ensures that force is only applied to the shifting system if the position of the shift mechanism deviates greatly from the prescribed position table 4______________________________________force control in the end position if the mechanism goes past thespecified target point the travel becomes gt 100 ______________________________________shift travel 80 95 100 105 110 120 we shift force 500 200 0 200 500 500 fsch n ______________________________________ if the shift mechanism remains in the correct end position no force is exerted and the shift forks are not worn in the event of greater deviations the force is increased so as to actively return the shift mechanism to the correct end position see example in the table since each gear can be actuated in the direction of an upshift or in the direction of a downshift for each gear two tables are set up analogous to table 3 in the upshift table lower forces are prescribed for the upshift and lower forces for the synchronization than in the downshift table the engagement of a gear can be divided into phases the force is adjusted as a function of these phases thus in the synchronization phase in which the synchronization has to compensate by friction for the speed differential.
