Clutch Slave Cylinder w/ Master Cylinder (Pre-Filled Assy)

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. The clutch slave cylinder is the final component and positioned at the end of the hydraulic clutch system. In a semi-hydraulic version, it is always located outside the gearbox bell housing and serves to actuate the release bearing via a release fork. In fully hydraulic conversions, the function of the release mechanism on the transmission side is taken over by a concentric slave cylinder. The advantage of this over conventional release systems is that fewer components are needed, as release bearings and concentric slave cylinders are no longer required. Under its LuK brand, Schaeffler has played a decisive role in the development of hydraulic clutch actuation technology. Today, the company also offers all components of the release system as spare parts for the independent market in case of a defect, certainly in the usual OE quality.
