Smart actuator comprising vibration processing, and method for evaluating vibrations on a transmission component

An actuator (1) for a component, in particular for a transmission component of a motor vehicle, including a processor (2) which is connected to an electric motor (3) for the closed-loop or open-loop control thereof, a final control element (4) which can be moved by the electric motor (3), wherein at least one (actuator-integrated) vibration sensor (5) is coupled to the processor (2), and the processor (2) is designed to evaluate the signals delivered by the vibration sensor. A method for evaluating vibrations on a transmission component of a motor vehicle is also provided, in which vibrations on the transmission component are detected by a vibration sensor (5) on the actuator and are processed in a processor (2) of an electromotive actuator (1).
