Hydraulics design
and composition
The hydraulic clutch release systems are based on
the same principle as hydraulic brakes. The hydraulic
system consists of a transmitter (clutch master
cylinder), a hose and a receiver.
The clutch master cylinder is connected to a plastic
or a metal tank filled with hydraulic fluid. The tank
is either common between the clutch and the brake
master cylinders or separate.
The receiver, depending on the application, can be
a
clutch release cylinder (semi-hydraulic system)
or a concentric slave cylinder (full hydraulic
system).
