Abstract
A clutch system comprises a clutch arrangement, an adjusting device for actuating the clutch arrangement, a displacement sensor arrangement for detecting a first quantity relating to the movement of a component which displaces when an actuating process is carried out, and a torque sensor arrangement for detecting a second quantity relating to a clutch torque transmitted via the clutch arrangement. The control device controls the adjusting device for carrying out actuating processes at least occasionally depending on at least the second quantity.
