Claim 12:
13. An arrangement comprising:
a gearbox comprising a number of gears and a dog clutch configured to engage at least one of the gears); and
a gear actuator comprising a DC motor configured to move the dog clutch via an actuator arm and configured to control the dog clutch executing a method, the method comprising:
supplying the DC motor with a pulse width modulated voltage having a duty cycle provided by a control algorithm, the control algorithm comprising a trajectory planner generating a desired position of the actuator arm based on a 4th order trajectory planning algorithm and a motion controller based for tracking a desired position of the actuator arm, the 4th order trajectory planning algorithm includes integrating a derived profile four time; and
moving the dog clutch by the DC motor via an actuator arm based on the pulse width modulation voltage.
