POWER CLUTCH ACTUATING DEVICE

A clutch actuating device has an actuating cylinder with piston and rod-side chamber, a multiplier cylinder with piston-side and rod-side chambers separated by a piston, a rod(s) interconnecting the pistons, and a directional control valve. The valve has a pilot port, ports in fluid connection with...

Zusammenfassung:A clutch actuating device has an actuating cylinder with piston and rod-side chamber, a multiplier cylinder with piston-side and rod-side chambers separated by a piston, a rod(s) interconnecting the pistons, and a directional control valve. The valve has a pilot port, ports in fluid connection with piston-side and rod-side chambers of the multiplier cylinder, and a port in fluid connection with a secondary source. When a first fluid pressure (P1) from a first pressure source is applied to the pilot port and rod-side chamber of the actuating cylinder, a second fluid pressure (P2) is applied to the piston-side chamber of the multiplier cylinder by the secondary source. This results in the first and second fluid pressures (P1 and P2) acting on the piston of the actuating cylinder to produce a clutch actuation fluid pressure.
