Description

DESCRIPTION

The clutch adopted is a dry single-plate type with diaphragm pressure plate springs and operated by hydraulic control.

The conventional single-plate dry solution is fitted with hydraulic control with pul disengagement in order to reduce the effort exerted on the clutch pedal to operate it.

This type of control is characterised by the fact that pressing the pedal the clutch is pulled by the coupled thrust bearing rather than pushed in the conventional manner. This solution has been adopted because, owing to the need to transmit a high torque, it would be necessary to increase the dimensions of the clutch assembly to leave the effort on the pedal unchanged during disengagement.
