VIEW OF ASSEMBLY

The release of the clutch takes place through the action of the clutch pump which sends fluid under pressure, through the pipe 1, to the expansion chamber 2.

The pressure of the fluid causes the movement of the piston 3 which slides in the guide tube 12 by means of the teflon anti-wear pads 8. The piston is in one piece with the thrust bearing 4 which presses against the pressure plate springs 5

disconnecting the clutch. When the pressure of the fluid ceases, the actuator returns to the rest position through the action of the pressure plate springs 5.

There is a gasket 9 on the clutch side and an oil seal 6 and an O ring 7 on the gearbox side to ensure a seal and prevent any leaks of fluid inside the bell housing.

There are rubber bellows 10, kept in position by a spring 11, as protection against the intake of outside agents.
