Abstract
A valve actuating device, in particular for an exhaust system, comprises a disk assembly, an actuating arm, and a valve actuator wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator. The disk assembly, at least in part, thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and includes at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions, which in an axial direction are directly arranged one behind the other and contact each other at the protrusions.
