5 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).
