MASTER CYLINDER

As an important component of modern clutch systems, the release system, the connection between pedal and clutch, has a decisive influence on the driving experience. To ensure that the clutch is easy to operate and that the power flow can be safely metered, all components of the release system must work perfectly together. Today's vehicles are usually equipped with a hydraulic clutch actuation. Schaeffler has significantly advanced the development of hydraulic clutch actuation technology! When the driver pushes the clutch pedal down, the master cylinder converts pedal force into pressure. Besides this basic task, a modern clutch master cylinder contributes to a host of other vehicle attributes. It plays a role in supporting improved safety, comfort and throttle response. Also it allows functionalities such as cruise control, starter-interlock system, the electric parking brake, torque adjustment and even the start-stop system.
