An actuating element for a clutch includes a stop which is adjustable by an automatic adjusting device for ensuring that the actuating stroke of a piston increases in the releasing direction of the clutch and that the actuating stroke is displaced away from the clutch in response to wear of the clutch linings when the clutch is engaged.

Actuating element for a clutch actuated by pressure medium

An actuating drive for actuating a friction clutch and an automated shift transmission, having valve units which enable a switching operation, on the one hand, of the friction clutch, and on the other hand, of the shift transmission. It is possible for a change to the switching state at the friction clutch to be triggered by a gear selection device. The valve unit that is assigned to the friction clutch is assigned a switching device which has a link between the actuating cylinder for the slot selection and the hydraulic circuit that is connected to the actuating cylinder for actuating the friction clutch and enables the driving, as required, of one or the other actuating cylinder.

Hydraulic actuating drive for a clutch, including a control unit, a hydraulic pump which can be driven by a drive and which feeds a pressure accumulator, and an actuating cylinder which is connected via a control valve with the pressure accumulator. The drive of the hydraulic pump is provided with a sensor for detecting the power consumption by the drive, and signals are sent to the control unit so that the hydraulic pump is controllable depending on the power consumption of the drive.
