Abstract:
A control device for controlling a power of a driving engine, in particular a driving engine of a vehicle, having a control element (2, 2a, 2b) that determines the power of the driving engine and having an actuating drive (6) for adjusting the control element (2, 2a, 2b), the improvement comprising the control element (2, 2a, 2b) has a control element stop (2.1), and the actuating drive (6) has a drive element (4, 4a) provided with a drive stop (4.1), and the drive element, (4, 4a), via an engagement of the drive stop (4.1) with the control element stop (2.1), is adapted to adjust the control element (2, 2a, 2b), wherein if the control element (2, 2a, 2b) incurs a motion resistance exceeding a certain amount, the actuating drive (6) adjusts the drive element (4, 4a) in a lifting motion direction causing the drive stop (4.1) to lift away from the control element stop (2.1), whereupon an ensuing adjustment of the drive element (4) opposite from the lifting motion direction moves the drive stop (4.1) to strike the control element stop (2.1).
