Abstract:
The operating unit for a vehicle is provided with a housing with a front face and an operating element arranged on the front face of the housing and having a center of gravity and an operating surface. Said operating element is mounted on and/or in the housing in a spring-elastic manner along a vertical axis of movement extending essentially orthogonally to the operating surface and along a lateral movement axis extending essentially transversely with respect thereto. At least one sensor for detecting an actuation movement of the operating element in the direction of the vertical movement axis is provided. Also, the operating unit comprises an actuator arranged in and/or on the housing for feedback movement of the operating element at least also in the lateral movement axis during a detected actuating movement of the operating element, wherein the actuator comprises an electromagnetically controllable drive element which is mechanically coupled to the operating element which can be moved back and forth along a movement axis. The center of gravity of the operating element lies on the movement axis of the drive element of the actuator.

Claim (Index 11):
The operating unit according to  claim 7 , wherein the actuator is configured as an armature-type electromagnet having a first stator which comprises a first excitation coil, and an armature as a drive element, that said armature is provided with a measuring coil to which a measuring voltage is applied when a magnetic flux generated by said first excitation coil flows through said armature, and wherein said first excitation coil and said measuring coil are connected to the analysis and controlling unit, wherein by means of said analysis and controlling unit the force is adapted to be controlled and/or regulated with the aid of which said armature is adapted to be moved towards said first stator and/or the deflection movement of said armature out of its rest position as well as the return movement of said armature into its rest position are adapted to be controlled and/or regulated.
