What is the function of a manual transmission clutch booster?
1 Answers
Manual transmission clutch booster serves to provide assistance to the clutch, helping drivers reduce effort, thereby minimizing driving fatigue and ensuring driving safety. Principle of the clutch booster: The automotive clutch booster is used in vehicles with hydraulic clutch operating mechanisms. When operating the clutch to engage or disengage, the assembly assists in increasing output force for easier control. To enable drivers to perceive and control the degree of clutch engagement or disengagement at any time, the output force of the pneumatic booster maintains a specific increasing function relationship with the clutch pedal travel. Additionally, in the event of pneumatic booster system failure, it ensures that the clutch can still be operated manually. Components of the clutch booster: The automotive clutch booster is installed in the hydraulic operating mechanism and shares a compressed air source with the pneumatic braking system and other pneumatic equipment. It mainly consists of four major parts: the pneumatic control valve, hydraulic cylinder, power piston, and housing.
