Disclosed a regulator for clutch actuator. The regulator for clutch actuator includes a housing having a cylindrical damping space inside, a first fluid path interconnecting the damping space and a master cylinder, and a second fluid path interconnecting the damping space and a an operating cylinder. The regulator further includes a flexible valve member contained in the damping space for reducing vibrations. The flexible valve member comprises a first inflow guiding portion configured to receive and guide fluid from the first fluid path. The first inflow guiding portion has a plurality of through holes such that elastic deformation of the first inflow guiding portion reduces vibration when fluid flow into the cylindrical damping space from the master cylinder.

The invention relates to a master cylinder for an actuating device of a clutch or a brake of a motor vehicle, including a cylinder housing having a pressure cylinder section, as well as a piston mounted movable relative to the cylinder housing, wherein the piston is arranged inside the pressure cylinder section in an actuation state in order to control a fluid pressure in a fluidically sealed pressure chamber by a sealing device on the piston side, and is arranged in a pressureless state such that the pressure cylinder section is fluidically connected to a retention system, wherein a seal of the sealing device is configured, and attached to the piston, such that it rests on a seal protection area of a stop element at least in a parking position in the pressureless state; as well as a method for mounting such a master cylinder.

A master cylinder for a hydraulic brake or clutch, the master cylinder comprising a lever and a cylinder housing in which a piston is slidably arranged, wherein the piston is secured against rotation in the cylinder housing, and a piston position detection device having a signal member asymmetrically arranged with respect to a circumference of the piston and a detection member that is at least one of assigned to the signal member and opposite to the signal member.

An actuator (12) for a device for clutch actuation in a motor vehicle has cylinder housing (14) with a pneumatic pressure connection (Ep) and at least one hydraulic pressure connection (E.sub.H1, E.sub.H2), in which cylinder housing a piston (16) is operatively connected to a longitudinally moveably control element (G). The piston together with the cylinder housing defines a pneumatic chamber (K.sub.p) that can be pressurized via the pneumatic pressure connection. At least one hydraulic chamber (K.sub.H1, K.sub.H2) is connected to the hydraulic pressure connection. The chambers are separated from one another by a sealing arrangement (18, 20). In a very compact design of the actuator, a pneumatic operative surface (A.sub.H2) axially delimiting the hydraulic chamber are formed on the piston, so that by pressurizing the pneumatic chamber the control element can be longitudinally moved via the piston in an actuating direction (B) against an external return force acting in a return direction (R), and a piston movement can be controlled by a pressure build-up in the at least one hydraulic chamber.

The invention relates to an electrohydraulic actuator comprising a hydraulic piston, a spindle drive for moving the piston along an axis of rotation, wherein the spindle drive comprises a spindle and a nut, and a worm wheel, which is coaxially attached to the nut. Furthermore, an electric motor having a worm, which meshes with the worm wheel, is provided. The nut is radially and axially supported by means of a bearing. In addition, there is a single-armed rotation-prevention mechanism in order to prevent the spindle from rotating. An angle with respect to the axis of rotation is included between a point of action of the worm on the worm wheel and the effective direction of the rotation-prevention mechanism, wherein the angle is selected in such a way that, for a predetermined torque acting on the nut, a radial force acting on the piston is minimized.

To downsize the periphery of reaction force applying device of a clutch controller, and set operation load more freely, in a clutch control system that links the clutch controller and a clutch device electrically, an operation reaction force is applied to a clutch lever, from reaction force applying device that uses a spring as a reaction force generation source; the reaction force applying device includes multiple reaction force generation cylinders arranged parallel to one another; and the clutch lever has an input/output arm, which extends toward an input/output part of each of the multiple reaction force generation cylinders from the vicinity of a lever support shaft, to allow transmission of operating force and reaction force between the clutch lever and the reaction force applying device.

A dual action hydraulic clutch system. The system includes a master cylinder having an outer piston therein, wherein the outer piston includes a channel therethrough that can receive an inner piston therein. A gap is formed between the outer and inner pistons, such that activation of the outer piston activates the inner piston once the outer piston has traveled a length of the gap. The outer piston forces hydraulic fluid through an outer outlet connected to a hydraulic clutch, and the inner piston forces hydraulic fluid through an inner outlet connected to a rear brake, allowing a user to simultaneously disengage the clutch and engage the rear brake. A lever is connected to the outer piston, such that the lever can move the outer piston between a resting position, a clutch position, and a brake position. The master cylinder can secure to a support surface via a mounting bracket thereon.

A hydrostatically operated clutch system having a hydrostatic clutch actuator for hydrostatically operating a clutch, in particular a pulse separation clutch of a hybrid drive, such that the hydrostatic clutch actuator is combined with a valve arrangement which is to be opened actively and enables the clutch to be engaged rapidly.

An angle-measuring device is provided for a rotationally-driven linear actuator, which can be implemented into a clutch actuator. A rotor element has an axis of rotation and rotates concentrically with a rotor of a rotary drive for an axially movable linear actuator element. A measurement magnet arrangement is fixed relative to the rotor element and has a polarization. The polarization is oriented in such a way that the magnetic field lines can change with a rotation of the rotor element so as to enable the angle to be precisely determined from at least one measurement position. At one location, a 360-degree sensor is provided for measuring angular positions based on the measurement magnet arrangement. At another location, a revolution-counting sensor is provided for counting a number of revolutions carried out based on the measurement magnet arrangement.

A clutch drive unit 220 includes a crank arm 221 configured to rotate by rotary driving of a clutch actuator 231. The crank arm 221 includes an output pin 222 configured to press a master cylinder 232, and a receiving pin 223 configured to receive pressing force P from an extendable body 228. The extendable body 228 includes a lock spring 228a with such strength that the pressing force P is generated. The pressing force P allows pressing moment PM greater than reactive force moment RM based on reactive force R acting on the crank arm 221 from a clutch 210 to act on the crank arm 221. The extendable body 228 is, by the stretching force of the lock spring 228a, provided in a stretched state between the receiving pin 223 and a holder receiving pin 229.
