Abstract

The invention is based on a control drive for operating drive components or adjusting components in motor vehicles. The control drive comprises an electric actuator (12) that acts on force-transmitting elements (19, 13; 40, 41). With these, the adjusting motion is transmitted to the drive or adjusting components to be adjusted. A throwout element (19) is provided that interrupts the transmission of force by the force-transmitting elements (10, 13; 40, 41) in the de-energized state (23, 55) of the electric actuator.
